I asked my fans for random quotes from books the other day.
Hilda posted “If you want me to help, you have to let me make the decisions with you.”
I have no idea what book this quote came from nor the context.
But I agree with this.
If you want me to help – you have to actually let me help.
And I’m only going to want to help if I understand and agree with what you are trying to do.
Collaboration isn’t about telling people what to do.
Collaboration is about making decisions together and then working together to complete a goal. Together.
