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.

Like collaboration, it takes a while to establish collaboration with yourself as a leader.
With a co-leader like Trish and I did, it took three years. And that's why we have this method and process because we built it. But also it has to be expanded to our team, to champions, to peers in the company, and then expand it even in our lives if we so choose in how we approach people, in how we assess talent, how we hire people.

What are the qualities of collaboration that are really important? So it's truly evolutionary and it's relationship focused. And it takes awareness, but also discipline. We want to live these behaviors more and more in the areas of our lives that are really important. Because we're all trying to change and companies are trying to change and leaders and teams are trying to change.

And we found, we believe, is a really strong formula to do that.

I couldn't agree more, Trish. Metrics are important. The noble purpose is what drives the team and you and I in collaboration. And over three years, our team on the project went from two to 70 people. Now they cycled in at different times and different numbers of team members. But I feel you and I with collaboration created a team that people wanted to be on.

And that's truly the challenge of leaders today. is not saying you must go into the office five days a week. It is wanting and creating the environment that team members want to be on. So I absolutely agree.
