Is Your Team Collaborating Effectively?

As a leader, are you #intentional about discussing the power of collaborative environments with your staff and equipping them to do so effectively?

When has collaboration worked and when has it failed?

Are there opportunities to collaborate more? Why or why not?

There is great strength in collaboration when executed in a way that:

✔️ Welcomes diversity of thought
✔️ Everyone involved is empowered and feels safe to contribute
✔️ The efforts are intentional, efficient, and based on a common goal
✔️ Develops the team members

Let’s think through some steps we can take to set ourselves up for success when collaborating…

Step 1: 👉You’re invited to the table
Step 2: 👉Discuss the scope and goals of the collaboration
Step 3: 👉Discuss your strengths, perspectives, and experiences with the topic
Step 4: 👉Discuss your expectations of the collaboration including communication, emotional intelligence, cadence, competing priorities, etc.
Step 5: 👉Agree on guardrails
Step 6: 👉Assign responsibilities
Step 7: 👉COLLABORATE and let the FUN begin!!!

I’m curious if implementing a system like this may help your teams #breakdownsilos, #increaseinclusivity, and #developessentialskills?
