Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.
Very great change starts from very small conversations, held among people who care.
Your value will be not what you know; it will be what you share.
Most great learning happens in groups. Collaboration is the stuff of growth.
If you want to change the world, find someone to help you paddle.
What sets apart high-performance teams, however, is the degree of commitment, particularly how deeply committed the members are to one another.
Winning as a team is better than anything. It’s great to share success.
If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is tied up with mine, then let us work together.
We win because we play together as a team.
You are only as good as your team.
A team aligned behind a vision will move mountains.
Nothing about us without us.
Cooperation is always more powerful than competition.
We can accomplish more together than we can alone.
Collaboration, it turns out, is not a gift from the gods but a skill that requires effort and practice.
The essence of leadership is relationship; influencing people to achieve things together that can’t be achieved alone.
Power, today, comes from sharing information, not withholding it.
The best ideas emerge when very different perspectives meet.
You are because I am and I am because you are. We are one another’s strength.
Relationships matter: the currency for systemic change was trust, and trust comes through forming healthy working relationships. People, not programs, change people.
