The Psychology of the Swamp No. 23: Tug-of-War



Can you bring two parties together who has acted in defensive and resistive ways? Yes, it is just a matter of returning to the mission and values of each party and evaluating the return on investment of such behavior.  When bad-actors compete, the showdown is meant to search and destroy. Constituents of both parties run from, look away or become disgusted when bad tug-of-war behaviors are the only form of collaboration and communication.  In a tug-of-war, a show of strength and character is the assumed agenda; however, when parties react defensively or are resistive, displayed is the weakness of character for each party, and the strength of the members becoming diminished.
