The Collaborative Culture:
Uncommon Skills That Drive Uncommon Results
Research has proven that the most effective way to go beyond sustaining the status quo and to achieve breakthrough results is to create a culture of creative collaboration.
Organizations with a culture of collaboration, and with leaders who build and put trust in that culture, experience historically high revenue, effectively leveraged budgets and aligned resources, and high-performing teams that proactively coordinate action.
The key to driving every desired result in organizations is collaboration. High-collaboration and high-trust organizations outperform low collaboration and low-trust organizations by 286% in total return to shareholders.
Unfortunately, because of deeply entrenched personal, organizational and societal conditioning, silos and hierarchies--and their resultant problems—persist.
Many organizations deliberately or inadvertently establish silos that spawn turf wars and personnel infighting, sluggish response times, and create practices and behaviors at odds with goals. This leads to low morale, defensiveness, toxic control, and micromanagement. As a result, they fall short achieving the results they desire.
