What does collaboration mean to you?

Buzzword bingo has a new term: Collaboration.

For some it means adding your two cents to a meeting agenda. For other it means providing a foothold and working together to climb high and see wide.

If we are to collaborate with one another we ought to find–create–some common language and bases from which to build.

Tell me what you think. What you’ve experienced. How you see it work.

 

Push beyond the cliches and share in the comments here or on Twitter what you think so we can grow something more.

So far I’ve heard from a simple tweet I sent:

“1st, listening.”

“We work together and come up with more than we would have individually with minimal drama & overlap.”

“The art of getting people to do what you want them to do without actually doing anything yourself.”

Look forward to hearing from you, learning from you, and dare I say collaborating with you.
