Negative Currencies

Currencies are what people value. But it is also possible to think of negative currencies, things that people do not value and wish to avoid:

  • Not giving recognition
  • Not offering support
  • Not providing challenge
  • Threatening to quit the situation
  • Raising voice, yelling
  • Refusing to cooperate when asked
  • Escalating issue upwards to common boss
  • Going public with the issue, making lack of cooperation visible
  • Attacking a person’s reputation, integration
  • Retribution.
