going, oh, Microsoft has solved computing. You've got this touch device with a stylus. It's going to blow you out of the water. And then Jobs came in to work on the Monday and was furious, livid, and instructed his team to figure out a way of blowing Microsoft out of the water. And it wasn't going to be a stylus. It was going to be with a finger. So, you know, that's rivalry.

So if rivalry is one-on-one, one person versus one person, one group versus one group, competition is kind of all against all. And competition in that kind of technical sense is often less productive. It's kind of exhausting. It's kind of toxic. People kind of...

They experience kind of a kind of a toxic culture in which everybody's kind of hoarding the status for themselves, taking all the credit, pushing all the blame away.
