I’m always on the lookout for interesting quotes dealing with collaboration that I can use in presentations. I came across this quote by Charles Darwin which I wanted to share with you.
“It is the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.” – Charles Darwin
Sorry to be a downer, but Darwin never said/wrote that. See:

Never apologize for being wrong–after all, business mopes like this never apologize for being wrong.
noooooooooooooo! Darn, well it’s a good quote nonetheless, we’ll just attribute it to a different Charles Darwin. Thanks for letting me know!
Welcome!

Completely agree with this quote because no person can exist and perform in isolation, you need to collaborate with others. Modern companies are a perfect example of collaboration and team work, infact if it wasn’t for these companies, all our modern innovations and inventions would not have happened.
I know it perfectly well because I run a company which has been ranked as one of the fastest growing companies. And then I don another hat which is that of a best selling author. This would not have been possible with out help and collaboration of my colleagues.
