My definition of collaboration includes people working together, actively listening to each others ideas, and then working towards a goal that the team believes is worthy.
Unfortunately, my definition is not the most popular one. Some people use the word, but forget to add the phrase they are thinking in their head: "as long as we agree to what I wanted to do anyway."
However, this attitude immediately breaks any collaborative leanings a group may have. And, frankly, makes me twitch.
If I were suddenly turned into a K-12 student again, with the knowledge I have gained, I think I might be labeled oppositionally defiant.
