So coupled with the five behaviors, which were essentially pretty innovative and pretty human behaviors and very original because we've hired a researcher to validate that they are unique. They were coupled with a noble purpose, and that's not just the vision and mission of the company that people memorize or try to memorize or try to live.

The noble purpose of the project is that it's commonly understood, but also internalized. I am here to do this, to meet this goal, but I'm here first to work closely and support the career growth of my team members. And in that first meeting, it was not to receive a list of tasks and come back and say how many you did. That first meeting was, who are you?

And in that first meeting, it was not to receive a list of tasks and come back and say how many you did. That first meeting was, who are you?

What's your skill that you offer everyone here? And how can you support this team? And at the end of the meeting, a little bit about the noble purpose so that we're all focused. I think when we ask people, what do you want to learn on this team? They were quite surprised. No one had ever asked them that before on a project team meeting.

So there were some really essential elements that I think that we did to build this collaboration approach. And then fast forward over the last 10 years, we carried, as Trish said, what we did and defined the five behaviors, coupled it with noble purpose, but also launched a business, Authentic Collaboration Incorporated, virtually. We've also started a book and did that virtually.

So not only does collaboration work in person, it also works virtually because we did it the last 10 years, launching a business, writing a book. So it's applicable to everyone, wherever you are. And there's a great quote by Gandhi, which many people know, which is, create the change you want to be. So I feel that that's really at the heart here is be the change you seek.

Be the collaboration leader that you want to be and the organization the team is asking you to be.

Exactly.

Exactly.

You have asked a really excellent question. One is that relationship is vital in certainly a work situation, but also it comes with respect and awareness of the strengths that what each person brings to that professional relationship. And as Tru said earlier, we have some similarities because we care first about the company and the team and our own success.

So we've got our priorities in order, but also we demonstrated those five behaviors consistently. So that built up trust. that built up a track record of what we call positive deposits in the emotional bank of goodwill, of trust, of also delivering. It's not all about feeling, because we do have to deliver, and we did accomplish our three-year project wonderfully.

So, Vince, I really like what you said about relationship as the focus. The second thing I believe I heard you say is that this is a process. There's an evolution to building professional relationships, which of course becomes friends and in the personal domain as well. Like collaboration, it takes a while to establish collaboration with yourself as a leader.
