Publisher's Synopsis
Social media and technologies have put connectivity on steroids and made collaboration more integral to business than ever. But without the right leadership, collaboration can go astray. Employees who try to collaborate on everything may wind up stuck in endless meetings, struggling to reach agreement. On the other side of the coin, executives who came of age during the heyday of "command and control" management can have trouble adjusting their style to fit the new realities. The ManageMentor Collaboration Toolkit delivers an industry-proven strategy framework with step-by-step support to develop collaboration strategy to build collaborative teams at any organization. We've combed 10 tools that make a smart gift for you, your team, colleagues, or clients making collaboration works. The book consists of ideas: 1) Are you a collaborative leader?, 2) Want collaboration?: accept and actively manage conflict, 3) Eight ways to build collaborative teams, 4) Manage when teams can't decide, 5) The competitive imperative of learning, 6) The hidden benefits of keeping teams intact, 7) How to balance "we" and "me", 8) Managing multicultural teams, 9) First connect, then lead, 10) Getting virtual teams right.
