You know, ever since man had any notion that some of his other people, his colleagues, could be different, could be strange, could be severely depressed or what we now recognize as schizophrenia, he was certain that this kind of illness had to come from evil spirits getting into the body.
Takers believe in a zero-sum world, and they end up creating one where bosses, colleagues and clients don’t trust them. Givers build deeper and broader relationships – people are rooting for them instead of gunning for them.
In the Senate, where 60 votes are required to do anything important, you have to work with your colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
I’m eager to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to get things done for the people of California and the nation.
All of the people in my life whom I consider to be close friends or colleagues are good thinkers.

The lack of health care coverage has remained very important to me during my time in Congress and as a member of the House Subcommittee on Health, I am working hard with my colleagues to correct these inequalities.
The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues, and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.
My mother didn’t set out to surround us with white students or colleagues. My mother just sought a quality education. People have these expectations of who they think you should be. And I say it’s because they don’t really understand Malcolm X – or his wife.
Remember: If you don’t schmooze, you lose. Used wisely, a bit of chitchat helps create a personal connection with your boss and colleagues.
I just want to listen and build relationships with as many of my colleagues as possible.
The visible things that have come from the group have been the Plan 9 system and Inferno, but I hasten to say that the ideas and the work have come from colleagues.

Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be… well-rounded. Also, the people I met at the university, most of them are still my colleagues now. People I’ve known for years are all in the industry together.
Many of my friends and colleagues are in the public eye, so they have to pay close attention to what they wear. But every woman needs to stay on her toes in this era of cell-phone cameras and Facebook.
The process of writing ‘The Innovator’s Dilemma’ entailed the developing a new theory. My colleagues, students and I have been improving that theory, and adding others to it, since that time.
I have joined bipartisan working groups and worked to build relationships and sponsor effective legislation with my Republican colleagues.
My colleagues and I were engineers who worked for DCM’s calculator division. These electronic calculators used digital integrated circuits, and then they started using chips. The advanced versions of those chips were used for programmable calculators, which were the forerunners of PCs.
I believe in wishing my colleagues and other celebs in a manner that brings my wit out and gives people a talking point. But there are people who love and those who hate you. That’s part of a celeb’s life.
And time for reflection with colleagues is for me a lifesaver; it is not just a nice thing to do if you have the time. It is the only way you can survive.
Spending more time with my colleagues outside the Capitol helps build bipartisan relationships.
My peers and colleagues inspire me.
When I tell my colleagues that I remember 1969, 1974 and 1987, their eyes glaze over, but I’m afraid I do remember them, and I therefore err on the side of caution.
Being Italian, I have a very special relationship with the culinary arts. One my projects was to share Italian cultural food with my colleagues.
I don’t know how many times I’ve turned to Twitter and Facebook to commiserate and celebrate, bounce ideas off of friends, colleagues and other entrepreneurs, and just connect with the wider world outside my office.
But I warn my colleagues that we will fail in our efforts to protect the homeland if we do not take additional steps to avoid a trade-off between protecting ourselves against terrorists attacks and preparing for and responding to natural disasters.

As the leaders of this great country, I urge my fellow colleagues in the House, governors, and presidential candidates alike to hold ourselves up to a higher standard.
I am sure that every one of my colleagues – Democrat, Republican, and Independent – agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal.
Girls Who Code doesn’t exist solely to discover the next great female technology icon, although that would be great! In addition to coding, the girls at our program learn to pitch ideas and products, present themselves professionally, and interact with colleagues at every level of a company.
I didn’t come to Washington to fight against my Republican colleagues, or even against my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. I came to Washington to fight for the values that make our country unique – for the economic freedom that gives life to the American Dream.
When the chair of an investigating committee refuses to share vital findings or source information with any of his colleagues, his committee’s ability to function has been fundamentally undermined.
My first job was scooping ice cream at Friendly’s in Albany, New York. I hated the work, most of my colleagues, and the uniform, and I more or less lost my taste for ice cream permanently.
I have been described by one of my colleagues as a ‘militant agnostic’ with my tagline, ‘I don’t know, and neither do you!’ I take this hard-line, fence-sitting position because it is the only position consistent with both my scientific ethos and my conscience.
Awards are great, as you get to meet up with friends and colleagues from your industry – a sort of reunion.
I am definitely a little more nervous for my colleagues when I’m working at mission control than I am myself on the shuttle.
My early colleagues and myself helped create the life styles of Americans and, by osmosis, of the rest of the world. I found it difficult to reconcile success with humility. I tried it first, but it meant avoiding the very essence of my career – total exhilaration and the ecstasy of creativity.
After hearing from my colleagues, I have decided to run for Speaker of the House. Let’s work together to make a difference for our country.
The kind of neuroscience that I do and my colleagues do is almost like the weatherman. We are always chasing storms. We want to see and measure storms – brainstorms, that is.
I have never really had a goal to be a true blue movie star, unlike a lot of my colleagues.
There is simply no room for racial, hurtful language spoken to your colleagues or anyone else.
My colleagues and I would spend a lot of our own money on copy, paper, and pencils. I just figured there are people out there who would want to help teachers like us if they could see exactly where their money was going.
I was growing up in a communist time, especially, and the other music, the western music, was banned, so on radio half of the music was Chopin. So my colleagues and I were a little bit allergic to this music because it was everywhere – everywhere!
This week I was proud to join with my colleagues to help pass two important, common-sense pieces of legislation that will limit the frivolous lawsuits by trial attorneys and personal injury lawyers that clog our courts and hurt our small businesses.
Campaign boot camp started as an opportunity to work in a grassroots way with people who were running for Congress. Colleagues on the Democratic National Committee were batting around different possibilities. I said, ‘We should have boot camps.’
It’s a great honour to be recognised and appreciated by your fellow colleagues.
In 1984, I returned to Newnham College at Cambridge University to teach after completing my Ph.D. there a couple of years earlier. Almost all of my colleagues in the university’s classics department were men, and my office at the all-women’s college was in the dorm.
