Whether it's for a work project, a creative endeavor or an everyday problem, Situations arise where it's required or we seek it out on our own.

不管是工作項目、創意工作還是日常問題，都會出現需要它的情況，或者我們自己去尋找它。

Collaboration can be defined as working together with others to achieve a common goal.

協作可以定義為與他人一起努力實現一個共同的目標。

This may seem easy in theory, but being an effective collaborator can sometimes be a challenge.

It's important to not let your ego take hold when collaborating.

在合作時，不要讓自己的自尊心佔了上風，這一點很重要。

It could be easy to get so wrapped up in your own ideas that you're not giving your full attention and consideration to everyone else's.

可能很容易被自己的想法所迷惑，以至於你沒有對其他人的想法給予充分的關注和考慮。

If everyone in the room falls prey to this, there wouldn't really be any collaboration happening.

如果房間裡的每個人都淪為獵物，就不會有真正的合作發生。

Take time to really listen and process the ideas of others.

An important part of the collaborative process is everyone having the opportunity to share their ideas and not just be heard but understood on a similar note.

Try not to take it personally.

儘量不要往心裡去。

If you do find yourself feeling offended, remind yourself that the goal of collaboration is to find an optimal solution or idea, and not necessarily for your ideas to be right.

如果你確實覺得自己被冒犯了，提醒自己，合作的目標是找到一個最優的解決方案或想法，而不一定是你的想法是正確的。

On the flip side, you should also feel comfortable giving open and honest feedback to others so long as you're being polite about it.

反過來說，只要你對別人的反饋很有禮貌，你也應該感覺到開誠佈公的反饋。

In some cases, it's helpful to seek out people outside of your field.

在某些情況下，尋求你領域以外的人是有幫助的。

This could mean someone who works in a different position at your job, someone with a different background from you or someone who's an expert in the topic you're seeking.

這可能意味著在你的工作崗位上從事不同工作的人，與你有不同背景的人，或者是你正在尋找的主題的專家。

Information about this can help to start more dynamic conversations and introduce ideas that you may not have come up with if you were working on your own or with a group of like minded people.

這方面的資訊可以幫助開始更有活力的對話，並引入一些如果你自己或與一群志同道合的人一起工作可能不會想到的想法。

Collaboration may not always be easy, but if you're able to apply some of these ideas, you may find the process and results to be productive and positive.

協作可能並不總是容易的，但如果你能夠應用其中的一些想法，你可能會發現這個過程和結果是富有成效和積極的。
