Working Collaboratively
Building confidence and connectedness
Teams are built on the assumption that given the tools and opportunity, people will collaborate successfully because we are social beings.
But is it that easy?
When working in teams, some people will often feel they are doing all the work. Some feel underutilised; others will say that teamwork takes time or they have little to gain. Yet all the research tells us that to be fast and innovative, teams (and teamwork) work best — for both the organisation and the individual.
In our experience, collaboration thrives on two key attributes – confidence and connectedness. If everyone in your team feels confident about their place and purpose and understands how to connect with others – face-to-face or online – collaboration will be more successful.
As technology enables us to collaborate in different ways, understanding the attributes and behaviours that drive collaboration has never been more critical.
The strength of the team is each member. The strength of each member is the team.
