Hope is often misunderstood. People tend to think that it is simply passive wishful thinking… This is indeed the opposite of real hope, which requires action and engagement.
-Jane Goodall, Primatologist
"…an unsuccessful collaboration is like an octopus out of water; it flails clumsily around and goes nowhere. Alternatively, when all members of the collaboration are moving in the same direction, that is, when the collaboration:
- includes a core planning group,
- fosters cooperation and teamwork,
- builds ownership for the project,
- encourages pooling of resources, and
- distributes leadership and decision-making power among members,
phenomenal distance toward the goal can be covered through a powerful, efficient and, at times, graceful group effort," writes Elizabeth Morgan Russell in The Art of Leadership: Promoting Early Childhood Services.
