Willingly assisting others

Willingly assisting others

Collaboration

  1. to work jointly with others.
  2. to cooperate with or willingly assist others.

?

Even the smallest of organizations can suffer from what Patrick Lencioni calls “the ultimate dysfunction of a team” – caring about something other than the collective goals of the group.

?

The top two things we consistently care about more than the livelihood of the organization? (you won’t be surprised here):

  • Me / my status
  • My team, my division, my department’s status

?

What’s the cure? ?A consistent dedication to a spirit of collaboration.

?

My goals / my team’s goals should support, but also be secondary to the overall goals of the organization. If I show up each day with a broad view of the goals of the organization first, and then ensure that I’m adding the most value for the organization – we all win!

?

I love a quote from Andy Stanley on the topic of collaboration –

?

“When it comes to cooperation / collaboration, there is no org chart.”

?

Powerful takeaway: As a leader, I need to be willing to intentionally invest in my team through collaboration. Even if my to-do list is full, I still need to be willing to model collaboration with one simple question:

?

“What is one thing I can do to help?”

?

Your coach’s insight…simply put.

Well said Rory Sheppard. When teams aren't focused forward and together, they can deteriorate into tearing one another apart. If leaders also don't proactively foster a healthy culture of collaboration that makes place for conflict resolution but not finger-pointing, the team can also self-destruct when they encounter bumps in the road.
