collaboration

When your heart is right, you want to bring out the best in others.

Collaboration is an inside-out mindset. It has to start on the inside, with the Heart.

When people don't know what__ going on, it__ human nature for them to imagine a version that__ ten times worse than the truth!

Some of the greatest advances happen when people are bold enough to speak their truth and listen to others speak theirs.

Collaboration begins with focusing on the collective good rather than personal gain.

People need to feel safe to be who they are__o speak up when they have an idea, or to speak out when they feel something isn't right.

You won't benefit from diverse perspectives if you aren't open to utilizing differences.

The natural result of utilizing different perspectives is that people are more engaged because they feel their opinions are important.

Sometimes the best way to get other people to give up their egos is for you to give up yours first.

As a leader, it's your job to get everyone to share what they know.

The key to handling conflict is to make sure people understand it's okay to have an opposing view.

Once leaders embrace the role of coach, they realize the weight of leadership is now balanced between themselves and their direct reports.

Perceive conflict as positive, creative, and issue driven. Don't allow personal attacks.

When people feel trusted, they'll begin to understand they are contributors--and you'll get great ideas and happy people.

Don__ look for leadership just at the top of the tree. Listen to leadership wherever it is expressed.

We have to abandon the conceit that isolated personal actions are going to solve this crisis. Our policies have to shift.

Enlightenment is living in the light of cosmic collaboration. Collaboration gives us the freedom to come out of the boundaries of limited realities.
