As much as we may like to take the lead on projects and in the end, claim that we made it a success, we must remember that we have most likely been helped or influenced by others along the way.
When we do something individually, we are oftentimes limited by a certain weakness. For example, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to type at your computer while cooking dinner for your friends. It may be a silly example, but it goes to show that sometimes, working with someone else will bring better results. The dinner will turn out much better if someone handles it while you type.
Collaboration is especially important in the workplace. By working together with your team, your projects will get done faster and more efficiently. Hence, we thought we should share our favorite collaboration quotes, and hope you use them to inspire your team.
