Collaboration Idioms
We’re all in this together
Be on the same page
Teamwork makes the dream work
Strength in numbers
Put your heads together
Bring your ‘A’ game
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Many hands make light work
Go the extra mile
A problem shared is a problem halved
Pull your weight
Birds of a feather flock together
There is no I in Team
United we stand, divided we fall
All for one and one for all
Two heads are better than one
A rising tide lifts all boats
When the going gets tough, the tough get going
