"...reveals how we can earn trust, repair
relationships, and create collaborations that
bring out the best in us." Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THINK
AGAIN and host of the TED podcast WorkLife Many
people have mixed feelings about workplace collaboration. On the one hand, they
know collaboration is essential to achieve complex goals. On the other hand,
they know collaboration is a slog. People pull in different directions. There's
desperately little communication and even less follow through. One person ends
up doing all the work. The result? Friction mounts. Projects fizzle. Great
people walk.
Here's
why: very few of us ever receive any formal training in how to collaborate
well.
In Collabor(h)ate, Deb Mashek draws on her deep experience
as a relationships researcher and collaboration facilitator to reveal
everything you need to know to make workplace collaborations less painful and
more productive.
