Collaboration refers to the sharing of information, decision-making capacity, and responsibility. A commitment is pledged, initiated and maintained. The way to change is paved with inner desire for change, a focused plan and a commitment to that plan. Workers establish, negotiate and articulate their common purpose aimed towards substantive, durable change. The change must be of a force that is positive in nature adding a heightened quality.
Workers intend or articulate such changes and act upon that intention.
Factors, of course, outside of the leadership process may determine whether change is enacted.
