When you are meeting someone, to offer them a smile, to offer them a handshake, to ask something about themselves first instead of making it about yourself first, that's like the most basic human thing that we can do. And sometimes we lose that. And so all these behaviors that we have in collaboration do help you to grow in all your relationships.

We have seen that people say, oh, go collaborate, but they don't understand what that means. And so what we have discovered in our work or what we believe from the work that we've done is that people just simply don't understand what collaboration is. And they're spending billions of dollars on a problem they don't understand.

And two issues with that is that people think that the core unit of collaboration is teams or tools or technologies, but we're saying, no, the core unit of collaboration is the individual. And so we all have to work on our individual skills first, or we won't be able to collaborate with anyone. There's this other piece of collaboration is not one action. It's a collection of actions or behaviors.

That's why we say these five behaviors.

That's why we say these five behaviors.

as you see them, but we see collaboration as two or more people working toward a common goal where they are using all their knowledge, skills, resources, and potential to achieve it. And that's important because they have to feel like they're also uniquely contributing. Like you were Vince in that job where you were so excited to get out of bed. So it's important that they feel that.

So it's important that they feel that.

I think also then the problem when people say collaborate, I'll back up. In 2014, there were a couple different studies that said collaboration was the cause for 86% of workplace failures, and that was Salesforce. And there was another study done that they were looking at Australia, and if they could just solve the problem of collaboration, they would make another $46 billion a year.

And Australia is a fairly small economy compared to some other countries, and that's a significant amount of money.

And as we look at these statistics of people measuring problems in the workplace of not being engaged and quiet quitting and having stress, like the youngest generation coming into the workforce, 91% of them experience at least one kind of stress, which is basically saying everyone is stressed. We do think collaboration is the solution.

Because the way we have designed it, you can design it into yourself and into your team and into your company. We're saying that you should design meaning and purpose, which is the noble purpose for the company and for the individuals. And we're saying you should always be leveling up yourself to in these behaviors of generosity and resourcefulness and co-creation and action and gratitude.

Because all five of those, we pick them for certain reasons because they interact and support each other and build on each other. And they actually impact our brain in different and similar ways that help us to think better, to be more resilient, to be more confident, to be happier and all these other things.
