Darwin to Dilbert, Contextualizing Top Collaboration Quotes

17 May 2010

In the context of the current state of collaboration, I would offer my views on the Top 10 Collaboration Quotes compiled by Ronda Levine of Bright Hub. Many thanks to Ronda for doing the hard work of finding and selecting great quotes and providing her insightful commentary. "It is the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed." - Charles Darwin. Collaboration is not a new phenomenon, as we know, so why all the fuss as of late? Studies suggest that collaboration is a top priority today for senior executives.

The ALL ONE (TAO) of Collaboration

06 October 2009

Achieving collaboration is synchronization or struggle – and everything in between – between the ALL (the collective, or the organization, or the enabler) and the ONE (the individual, or the enabled). This synchronization or struggle stems from the organization collaboration culture which may be weak or strong, in which the individual performs with personal motivation for collaboration that itself may be weak or strong.

Enthusiasts to Laggards

20 August 2009
