Welcome to Essentials of Team Collaboration

“

- When you hear the term collaboration, what comes to mind? Synergy? One plus one equals three, or maybe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And yes, collaboration done right can translate into improved results, better efficiency, and higher morale. But let's be honest, when it's done poorly, it can be an unmitigated disaster. The truth is that real collaboration is so much more than just throwing people in a room together, or a slap in a few names on an org chart and just hoping for the best. Teams that collaborate effectively have taken very specific steps that create a structure and environment that supports effective collaboration. In this course, we'll share those specific techniques and approaches designed to help teams work together more efficiently and effectively. And we'll identify very practical approaches that you can use with your team. I'm Dana Brownlee, President of Professionalism Matters. I'm a corporate trainer, keynote speaker, and author of the "Unwritten Rules of Managing Up", and one thing that I've learned after more than 15 years of training teams is that effective collaboration doesn't happen by accident. Instead, it takes intention, skill, and a few secrets to success. Are you ready to learn those secrets? Let's go.
