Sometimes they seem to just miraculously "happen."
Most of the time, however, those strong teams evolved because key actions were purposefully implemented that made collaboration abundantly possible.
Unfortunately, many teams have neither the dedication nor skill to confront complex group issues. This leaves them susceptible to power plays and competition between members, as well as the old enemy of many such teams: ineffectiveness.
Meetings become a waste of time, and the team's accomplishments – if any – are primarily the result of individuals working on their own. Collaboration takes a back seat.
Then step into the breach and get ready for a sea change, because this course "ramps up" the keys to collaboration, shifting your focus from individual to team interactions. At this level, collaboration goes far beyond simply engaging with more individuals!
During this course, you'll encounter new abilities and learn how to collaborate effectively from WITHIN a team. You'll be invited to build on interpersonal relationships, and branch out into the exciting challenges present when people work together toward a shared purpose.
With Miki's guidance, you'll focus each week on a single element essential to effective collaboration within teams. Examples will be drawn from participants' work lives:
- Attention to both relationships and shared purpose;
- Working with power differences – from above;
- Working with power differences – from below; and
- Maximizing efficiency and collaboration during meetings.
If you'd enjoy learning:
- Skills and practices that can enable you to engage collaboratively – and effectively – with teams…
- Tips that enable teams to work together both productively and harmoniously…
- How you might bring the benefits of collaboration to YOUR group or organization…
Then register for this course, and get ready for a transformation that can help you break away from the past and lay claim on a brighter, far more collaborative future!
