Collaborate Quotes

Quotes About Collaborate
  • Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.   --Henry Ford
  • Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.
  • Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
  • Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.  Vince Lombardi
  • If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
  • Collaboration, n.: A literary partnership based on the false assumption that the other fellow can spell.
  • Collaborate, don't dictate. --George A. Romeo





One is Too Small a Number for Greatness | MWM
Invite Others Into Your Journey = Those who collaborate understand that the key to greatness is in the people around them. Greatness comes from engaging with others and inviting them into your journey. The people that surround you, who have joined you in that journey, allow you to be bigger and accomplish greater things.



None of Us is as Good as All of Us | MWM
Together We Can Achieve Anything = Collaboration is the secret to transforming a mere organization into a dynamic ecosystem of innovation and success. It allows the whole to be greater than the sum of its parts—talent, ideas, and expertise coming together to achieve shared goals. Collaboration is more than just working together … It is about building relationships based on trust and respect. Together we can achieve anything.




Some of Your Greatest Thinking Has Been Done by Others
Ask For Help From Others = It is all about collaboration. John Maxwell says that most of his great thinking is done by others. Take the subject that you want to write about—think it through and write it down—then invite others around the table and ask them to help you. They will ALWAYS make it better.


Shared Thinking Leads To Better Ideas = Collaboration makes a difference. People who participate in shared thinking and collaboration come up with better thoughts and ideas together than those who only rely on their own thinking. That is the power of shared and sustained thinking.



No Matter the Thought, Collaboration Makes it Better | MWM
https://youtu.be/ljhGqf8T-08
Don't Be a Lone Ranger= Think about all that we can do on our own, now imagine you have other like-minded individuals that can enhance your thinking and abilities. As John says, when you collaborate you go further and faster than doing it alone. Together, we can achieve so many things!
Everything expands when you collaborate = Everything expands when you collaborate. It gets bigger. It gets better. And it comes quicker. When you collaborate, you go farther and you go faster than trying to do it by yourself.









Are you simply cooperating with people to achieve greatness or collaborating with them? If you are striving for excellence and higher-level thinking, collaboration is the way to go. The difference—cooperation is working well together while collaboration is “wanting” to work together. In the great words of John, "to collaborative team members, completing one another is more important than competing with one another."



Cooperation is great. But if you are striving for excellence and higher-level thinking, planning, creating and success, collaboration is the way to go. The difference—cooperation is working well together while collaboration is “wanting” to work together. When you want to work with others, you are learning, engaging in creativity and making synergy, combining good ideas to generate great ideas, and valuing others. In other words, you are making yourself better!

Scriptures
Proverbs 1:3 Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair.
Proverbs 16:11 (MSG) God cares about honesty in the workplace; your business is his business.
Proverbs 29:14 (MSG) Leadership gains authority and respect when the voiceless poor are treated fairly.
Ecclesiastes 5:8 If you see the extortion of the poor, or the perversion of justice and fairness in the government, do not be astonished by the matter. For the high official is watched by a higher official, and there are higher ones over them!
Proverbs 31:9 ESV Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Psalm 106:3 ESV Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
James 2:1-5 ESV My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?
2 Corinthians 8:13-14 - For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness, your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness.
Colossians 4:1 - Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Romans 3:6 Of course not! If God were not entirely fair, how would he be qualified to judge the world?

John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California, where he spent the summers of his youth working on nearby ranches — the setting for much of his literary work, including "Of Mice and Men" and "East of Eden." His experiences gave him insights into the lives of the downtrodden, who often served as the protagonists in his novels. These struggles, not to mention living through the Great Depression, gave Steinbeck a greater appreciation for the good times he enjoyed. Steinbeck followed up the quote above with, "You only truly, deeply appreciate and are grateful for something when you compare and contrast it to something worse."




Would You Rather Win or Be Kind? | MWM
Would You Rather Win Or Be Kind? = If you have the choice to be right—to win—or be kind, always choose to be kind. You don't always have to be right, you don't have to win everything, instead we can be kind and ask others their opinions in order to connect.


What it Really Means to be Kind | MWM
https://youtu.be/cYG-Dbkw-M4
Look For A Need = Take advantage of today to be kind. Kindness embodies being good, while also taking useful action. It is being nice and helpful, gentle and useful, compassionate and generous, being positive and doing good. Kindness doesn’t only mean being nice, it means a willingness to act. Look for a need and meet it if you can. Who can you be kind to today?





What Kindness is and is Not
https://youtu.be/cCJjaOQSX-o
Encourage Others! = One of the 7 words of love from Joel Manby’s book, Love Works, is Kind—an extremely important leadership principle. As leaders, we must have tough conversations with people and hold them accountable, but we can still lead with kindness. We do this by making someone’s day better. Every time you come into contact with someone, you can make their day better or make their day worse. Every day, try to provide encouragement in each of your interactions, be positive, and improve the day. (You can learn more about the 7 timeless principles for effective leaders in Love Works)

  • Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate. Compassion is hard because it requires the inner disposition to go with others to the place where they are weak, vulnerable, lonely, and broken. But this is not our spontaneous response to suffering. What we desire most is to do away with suffering by fleeing from it or finding a quick cure for it. Henri J. M. Nouwen

  • Regardless of how we define Christ's separation from the world, one fact is clear: he did not separate himself from human beings and their needs. Nor did he limit his concern to the spiritual part of man's personality. Erwin W. Lutzer (1941- )
  • Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these. Bob Goddard
  • Teach me to feel another's; woe, To hide the fault I see; That mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me. Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
  • The dew of compassion is; a tear. Lord George Noel Gordon Byron (1788-1824)
