The US political system
is 2 party.
These two parties
are always pitted against
each other.
If one party is for something,
the other party is against
that something.
There’s no need to cooperate
or even be nice.
Members of one party
seldom work
with members of the other party.
The Canadian political system,
in contrast,
has 3 major parties.
There is always a chance
a winning party
will have less than 50%
of the votes.
This means
there is always a chance
the winning party
will have to partner
with another party
to make change happen.
The parties have to
be civil to each other.
They have to
be ready
to work together
as allies.
When you build teams
or assign leadership roles
or create projects,
the number you designate
WILL
determine how people
perceive them.
If you have 2 project teams,
these 2 teams
will compete against each other.
They will automatically
be ‘enemies.’
If you have 3 project teams,
there will be less competition
and more cooperation.
Both serve purposes.
Ensure they serve
YOUR purpose.
Make conscious decisions
about how many
your business will have.
