We have made a huge amount of progress over the last 50 years by enabling trade, by enabling kind of collaboration and learning. And actually, in fact, when you look at your average 30-year-old today, they're much better off than a 30-year-old 20 years ago, 30 years ago, because of progress in technology and health care and all the rest of this.
What I like least is dealing with publishers who simply don't want collaborations regardless of their merit.
Several technological and political forces have converged, and that has produced a global, Web-enabled playing field that allows for multiple forms of collaboration without regard to geography or distance - or soon, even language.
I'm not a designer, I'm a creator. To me, it's always been about collaboration, I've never studied styling or fashion. As far as I'm concerned, it boils down to common sense: have fun, more importantly have fun with your friends and keep a global view on what you're doing.
Collaboration is the best way to work. It's the only way to work, really. Everyone's there because they have a set of skills to offer across the board.
Finlay was the godfather of a problem that's rampant everywhere today. He called the people who made his work 'collaborators'. . . nowadays it's 'fabricators'. . . talented people who are grateful, desperate and thwarted. There's plenty of them.
To make a collaboration succeed there can be no visible contusions or abrasions. For the collaboration to succeed, the relationship must be nourished and survive. That is absolutely essential for a collaboration to succeed.
Solution = Conflict + Collaboration
Life is a big collaboration. And we can't navigate it alone.
Theater for me is terrifying but much more rewarding, because you know what they're seeing. Film is all little bits and pieces. And you can do an amazing job, but if the camera isn't getting it, it doesn't work. And then other times when you feel you really weren't present, and then you see it and somehow it works. So there's a mystery, there's a strange collaboration that takes place with everybody.
Just as the Internet drops transaction and collaboration costs in business and government, it also drops the cost of dissent, of rebellion, and even insurrection.
Denzel Washington: I like the collaboration, I like seeing people do well, so I really plan to direct the rest of my days.
I believe [the architecture firm] Herzog and de Meuron and our collaboration made the product the best it could be.
That brings me to Dennis Ritchie. Our collaboration has been a thing of beauty.
My collaborations have to be very positive. I will never work with a person I fight with.
Some worked in collaboration with each other to produce comics as well as short stories. I was partnered with Anita Roy. We critiqued each other's stories. Hers is a corker: future Masterchef. I chortled. There's not a single dud in Eat the Sky.
A photographic portrait needs more collaboration between sitter and artist than a painted portrait.
When in doubt, err on the side of generosity.
All empires have depended on local legitimacy and local collaboration; they are not based primarily on coercion. An imperial rule that relies wholly on coercion can't endure. It's too expensive.
Confidence is not just in people's heads; it comes from the culture of the organization. It's easier to expect success when working in an organization that has a culture of accountability, collaboration, and initiative. Without this, it's easier - and more self-protective - to assume failure so the person is not disappointed and instead pleasantly surprised.
