LEADERS KNOW WE ARE BETTER THAN THE SUM OF OUR PARTS

This past week I had the opportunity to witness incredible collaboration in action. Here are three resources to help you assess, update, or energize collaboration in your own leadership. 

• This HBR article sums up the difference between crusade and collaborative leadership and offers six strategies for leaning into a leadership style that builds partnership, trust, and results. 

• Collaboration is a skill set. This article from Indeed lists the key skills needed to collaborate and shares some ideas on how to articulate collaboration as a personal strength. 

• In this short and sweet podcast episode, Frances Fei (author of "Move Fast and Fix Things") describes what it takes to communicate complex ideas for the sake of building trust and partnership.

THE PRACTICE

Reflect:

• Where is an area of your life or work where you are getting stuck?

Explore: 

• List out all the ways partnership, collaboration, or help could move you forward.

Act:

• What is one thing you can do in the next week to start building a bridge for collaboration to help you with this challenge?
