“Where everyone is connected, the game-changer – the force multiplier - is collaboration. Collaboration unleashes the power of the many to do together what none can do alone.”
“...maybe strength in the 21st century isn't about dominance....it's about the capacity to evoke....the ability to spark the enduring bonds of shared values, intrinsic motivation, and mutually committed perseverance. It is, in short, not the power merely to command, subordinate, demean, insult — and then crow about it with impunity. It's the power to inspire, animate, infuse, spark, evoke — and then connect, link, and collaborate, to be a force multiplier.”
“An artist is a nourisher and a creator who knows that during the act of creation there is collaboration. We do not create alone.”
“The main reason to use Booki rather than a word processor to write a book is to effectively collaborate with other authors. The book you are reading is my second attempt to do this (and the Spanish translation of my first FLOSS Manual would definitely qualify as a third) so my opinions on this might be worth something.The first thing is that there are good reasons to collaborate and not so good. A good one is that your collaborator can bring expertise to the book that you don't have. A bad one is that you think there will be less work for you if you have a collaborator. There are many human activities where "Many hands make light labor". Writing a book isn't one of them.”
“Unique is what one person does alone. What is not unique is what others have to collaborate on.”
“Freedom is actually a bigger game than power. Power is about what you can control. Freedom is about what you can unleash.”
