Esta é uma edição muito especial de nossa revista EasyCoop. Investimos em boas reportagens, a começar por um tema que nos é muito caro: as cooperativas de trabalho. Elas foram praticamente ignoradas na tramitação da reforma trabalhista. O cooperativismo de trabalho passa por um momento difícil e precisa modernizar sua gestão para conseguir sobreviver.

There is a trend in cooperative group process that has me worried: the tendency to offer one-size-fits-all solutions to complex dynamics.

I can understand the seductiveness of this. (Wouldn’t life be simpler if we had a handful of straight forward techniques that could reliably get us through the hard spots?) We yearn for magic beans (clear answers), and there is no dearth of practitioners who offer up their pet modality with the promise that if you only learn their approach your problems will be over, or at least easily managed.
