Humility is critical in collaboration because collaboration can only happen if we recognize the possibility that our understanding, ideas, etc. might not be perfect and that there is value in the ideas of others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991593461200755444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542735367750845260.post-38267852345764873972008-12-09T18:56:00.000-08:002008-12-09T18:56:00.000-08:00Do you think that humility plays a large role in c...Do you think that humility plays a large role in collaborative environments? It seems like you would have to be humble in order to truly see others perspectives and consider that they may be right.<BR/><BR/>I heard a segment on NPR this morning about an atheist US soldier in Afghanistan who found himself in the company of Christians and Muslims. As they shared their points of view of religion, he found others could not believe what he was saying. The interpreter with them made a comment to the group something to the effect of, "consider for a moment that he might be right."<BR/><BR/>It would take a person who truly tries to empathize with others to step back and try to see things from another perspective in order to learn.Brian Chantryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824095783856677464noreply@blogger.com
