I love the word
co-opetition.

Reflection drill: Celebrate Diversity — Include EVERYONE on Your Team
Synergy is based on interdependence. To compound your results, let go of your need for independence and control, and learn how to become a valuable member of a team.
Why it matters: Group synergy will blossom and bloom when you coach your team to be both cooperative and supportive.
Thinking drill:
How can you strengthen the interdependence of a team you’re currently working with?
Have you told the people who are indispensable to your team just how important they are?
How could you support any prima donnas or renegades on your team — those who need to be converted to interdependent thinking — without invalidating their strengths?
What’s your take away?
