How to be an amazing collaborator part 2
In part 1 you learned that the first way to become an amazing collaborator is to share your ideas openly. Today we're taking it to the next level.
The second way to become a great collaborator is to let go of your ideas as soon as they come through.
No one likes a person who tries claim credit for everything and force their ideas to the top.
Let go of your "I want to be special" stance. That's a competitive stance.
Trade it in for a collaborative stance like "our team is gonna kick so much ass"
Your homework is to practice sharing your ideas and then letting go of credit. This especially applies to us white dudes.
Go practice and experience the totally crazy, counter-intuitive bliss of no longer stressing about getting credit for everything.
People will notice that you're an extremely generous team member and they won't be able to stop themselves from wanting to collaborate with you, because it's such a rare skill.
