Making Collaboration Work
Make every conversation a win-win When you collaborate you have to harness both areas of expertise to create real benefits for all.
Get to know the other leader's perspective Understand how they view the common goal. Learn about their concerns and find out what their capabilities are.
Make sure that you are clear about the common goal This is vital. Keep it as your common focus point.
Be flexible There's often a lot of blurring over who is responsible for what. Get comfortable with this and encourage a give and take mentality.
Both sides have to be equally committed Make sure both teams share an equal and mutual feeling of respect for each other.
Have clear communication processes There is no time for knowledge is power! You cannot afford for any information to be hidden or unclear. You have to share knowledge openly. Decision making and other processes should be agreed ahead of the collaboration.
