When a person cooperates, it’s pretty much a safe bet that the person is sensible, caring, considerate, and respectful. These are all characteristics of a cooperative person, and many people look up to this type of person.

Cooperative people often develop into good team people. These days, companies are BIG TIME into team people. They often develop into big decision makers, and managers.

But you have to know where to draw the line, too. Sometimes it hurts to cooperate too much. Some people call this being a pushover. Sound confusing? Yea, it can be. You can only learn through experience, going through it time and time again. And each scenario is different; it depends on the time and place, and the people you’re dealing with.

The bottom line is: Be true to yourself, your family, and your friends. Plus, when you’re working for a business, your boss will expect you to make decisions based on what’s best for the company.

I hope this helps, and hope it wasn’t too overwhelming.

Good Luck, and Take Care.

Employers seek out those that are “team players” because these people are much more flexible and able to cooperate with others.

The other thing is that cooperators tend to be better listeners and better at resolving problems than those who stick to themselves.
