John Kirkham – Cooperation over Competition

21/01/2026 By wealden

Weds 14th January 2026

At the WBG breakfast meeting this morning we were joined by John Kirkham. John divided the group into three groups and took part in a game where the aim was to win as many points as possible.

Afterwards, John Kirkham facilitated a discussion on the merits of different strategies and demonstrated the value of collaboration over competing as individual teams – showing how working together can achieve the best overall outcome for everyone.

John has been a member of the group in the past, so it was great to welcome him back and learn from his expertise as an organisational coach.
