I liked your post, and was most taken with the comment: As liberating as they may be, as fun as they may be, Enterprise 2.0 tools simply wont change basic human nature.
I agree.
But, the good news is, humans are social. The bad news is we also want to win. Be top dog, etc. Often this works against our desire to be social and collaborative.
The challenge the organization is to find a way to encourage collaboration while recognizing that people are also competitive. This is a dilemma and not a problem to be solved. In other words, the tension between cooperation and competition will always be there. Too often, we try to pretend that both sides of the polarity constitute human nature.
