Leadership manifests itself in moments. Defining moments in which we do—or don’t—transcend “me” for “we,” champion good over evil, or take the high road instead of the low one.

Being in business, and studying at night, I was initially drawn to the power of proof.

What is collaboration? In Let’s Stop Confusing Cooperation and Teamwork with Collaboration, I define collaboration as “two or more people working together to create something new in support of their shared vision.”.
