How to Collaborate

To work with humans, you must:
- Keep an open mind: being rigid is not delightful
- Accept constructive criticism.
- Attentive listening is an undervalued skill that is essential in teams.
- Be open to feedback.
- Be understanding.

- Boundaries should be respected.
Collaboration promotes building, building promotes growth, and growth manifests development.
