Collaboration
Collaboration is the process of working together on a shared goal. It is the hallmark of good companies and nonprofits, volunteer organizations and grassroots movements.

Collaboration skills
According to Corey Moseley, a writer on company culture, employee engagement, and internal communications, as far as collaboration skills, "Collaboration is all about bringing people together from different departments, locations, and teams, then focusing their efforts on a common goal. But it can’t happen unless everyone’s on the same page, skill-wise. Collaboration is a process, but collaborating well is a skill that’s honed over time."[2]
