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.
None of us are as smart as all of us. When people recognise their own erroneous beliefs regarding collaboration and work to change them, silos are broken, failures are turned into success, and breakthrough results are achieved at every level.
