Recently, Collins was working with a client that had no mountaineering skills but, for the project, needed to reach the top of the mountain. “We had to do it in a safe way and that takes a very collaborative effort with your team and the client.” Over the years, Collins has discovered that the best way to encourage collaboration is by helping people reach a decision that works for everybody. “You’re constantly trying to save people from themselves, but you’re not pushing back. You’re guiding them to a new decision. You’re letting them be part of the process.”
