Recommendation
Collaboration is one of humankind’s primal dynamics, but formal collaboration inside today’s organizations seldom works. Companies suffer when colleagues can’t get together effectively to develop smart solutions to problems. Leaders might pay lip service to the idea of collaboration, yet few know how to bring it about. As you might suspect, there is a better way. Collaboration expert Gretchen Anderson explains in practical terms how collaboration works, what it can accomplish, how to organize collaborative teams and which common collaboration pitfalls to avoid.

1 year agoSirve como un breve manual de bolsillo para recordar en nuestras organizaciones como promover y que no hacer para que la colaboración fluya un poco más. <br> <br>A pesar de que algunas de sus conclusiones pueden presentarse como básicas, la verdad es que el resumen las agrupa lo suficiente como para tenerlas en cuenta al tiempo e indagar un poco más sobre ellas.
