The Power Of Collaboration
One cannot know it all. One cannot have all the best ideas. One cannot dream up the grandest ideas and visions.
There is huge power in collaboration. If everybody brings their best ideas to the table, the pool of ideas is much great to draw from, and can actually spark even better ideas. Collaboration can lead to exponentially better results, not just linear results.
Everybody has unique talents and giftings. Something magical can happen when you can a group of people united in a cause, each using their best giftings.
To guard again group think, the environment must be open and the individuals not afraid to share their thoughts and ideas openly, without judgement. Also, without offence if their idea isn't the best or the one taken or possibly shot down. IF this element of openness isn't there, the power of collaboration is lost.

I can appreciate this.
ReplyDeleteThe more and more I speak with people to discuss ideas, whether these ideas are shared at work or amongst my friends, the more I realize how much I don't know. The more I realize that if I'm left to my own devices I can become a swamp instead of a free flowing river.
The more people contributing their efforts and specialties in a game the better the game. Let's keep ALL our heads in the game!
Don't be a swamp! :)
