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.

Genuine collaboration is an environment that promotes communication, learning, maximum contribution, and innovation.

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

In order for collaboration to take place, managers must give up their silos and their perceptions of power.

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

Collaboration requires focusing on everything from vision and values to how individuals can feel they are making a real contribution.

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