Enlightened Self-interestEnlightened self-interest is a philosophy in ethics which states that persons who act to further the interests of others (or the interests of the group or groups to which they belong), ultimately serve their own self-interest.

Enlightened self interest is a way to create good for self and good for all at the same time, including team mates, bosses, customers and organization. Contributors think in enlightened self interest.

Why enlightened self – interest is important?

If human beings did not have an inherent will to protect themselves and further their own interests, they would not survive.

Knowing what is in your interests will help you get what is best for you and avoid what is harmful. It will keep you moving toward your goals and ensure that your goals are the right ones for you.

Contributing to the development and survival of the society in which you live will mean a better environment in which to pursue your interests.

If you acknowledge that self-interest is inherent in your nature, you will feel less guilty about looking after yourself.

If you acknowledge that altruistic behavior is in your interests, you will be more likely to cooperate with others. If you do both, everyone gains.

Conclusion

According to enlightened self-interest, an action is morally acceptable if it benefits an individual (or organization) without intentionally harming others, and the benefits counterbalance the harm.

If one operates with the win lose attitude, then one cannot collaborate with anybody.
