Collaboration

I've noticed...more people seem less able to collaborate.

Is this true?  Or, is it just that this is a phenomenon that particularly describes the aging?  Is it the case that the older we get, the more entrenched we become in our assumptions?  The more we believe the effort to collaborate is unproductive — I just want to do it, the way I want to do it.  Am I just more aware of this because I am aging, too?

Or, perhaps, this is a current societal-climate thing.

Either way, is the skill or mindset of collaboration in decline?
