Beneficial Relationship

 Beneficial Relationship

When it comes to figuring out the beneficial professional relationship models, Nature is filled with examples. Unfortunately, however, our historical view of the relationships found in nature has been built on the perception of competition. In other words, we've all bought into the idea that it's a "dog eat dog" "survival of the fittest" world. I'm happy to report that for the most part, the idea of competitive relationships being the natural state of things is actually a fallacy.The more deeply we investigate into nature's inner workings, the more we see that it is literally filled with mutually beneficial relationships. The Hawaiian bobtail squid, for example, has a symbiotic relationship with a bacterium called Vibrio fischeri. This microbe is embedded in the squid's ink sac and emits light at night that actually matches the illumination of the moon.
