The Reciprocity Mental Model advocates for treating others as you'd want to be treated, fostering empathy, mutual respect, and cooperative relationships.
Drawing on the concept of the Golden Rule, the Reciprocity Mental Model posits that understanding and considering others' perspectives and treating them as we would like to be treated can enhance interpersonal interactions and relationships. For instance, as a coach, if you want your players to respect you, listen to you, and give their best, you should do the same: respect their efforts, actively listen to their concerns, and give your best in training them. This creates a positive, constructive, and mutual relationship.
Do not treat others as you would not like to be treated yourself. This is the root of all morality.
