Everyone knows collaboration creates high performing teams and organisations - and with today's diverse, globalised workforce, collaboration is absolutely crucial. Yet it often doesn't happen, as people typically believe that the problem is outside: the other team member, the other department, the other company. Best-selling author Ken Blanchard and his co-authors – Jane Ripley and Eunice Parisi-Carew  – use Blanchard's signature business parable style to show that, in fact, if collaboration is to succeed it must begin with you.

This book teaches people at all levels – from new associates to top executives – that it’s up to each of us to help promote and preserve a winning culture of collaboration. The authors show that busting silos and bringing people together is an inside-out process that involves the heart (your character and intentions), the head (your beliefs and attitudes), and the hands (your actions and behaviours). Working with this three-part approach, Collaboration Begins with You helps readers develop a collaborative culture that uses differences to spur contributions and creativity; provides a safe and trusting environment; involves purpose, values and goals; encourages people to share information; and turns everyone into an empowered self-leader.
