Day 10 of the 24 for 24 series brings us to Collaboration. Collaboration is a critical skill set in today’s context and was at the root of the “return to office call”.
As I share in my writing, Reconnecting Workspaces, there are several key skills needed for good collaboration. These include skills in the following areas:
• Trust
• Candor
• Connection
• Flexibility/Adaptability
• Self-Awareness
• Working Across Differences
• Relationship Development
Focus Question: Where can 1 + 1 = more than 2?
Description
Virtual collaboration is an art form, and a requirement of exceptional work in the remote space. “No person is an island”. It is critical that we spend time focusing on what is important for those we work with.
Collaboration can be more complex in the remote space as we don’t always see the context our colleagues are operating within. With this in mind, it can be even more important to be intentional in designing our relationships This is a topic I explore in Chapter 12 of Effective Virtual Conversations.
At the heart of great collaboration is clarity around:
Why are we collaborating? Collaboration is not always the best strategy.
What’s our common stake? What are all parties committed to?
What do we each bring to the table?
Activity
#1 – Where are you collaborating?
Map out the different collaboration partners you currently have? What makes them work?
#2 – Skills for Collaboration:
What skills do you lean into? What could use attention? Some of the more common skills needed for collaboration, which I outline in Chapter 12 of Effective Virtual Conversations, is listed below.
What’s important to note about collaboration this year for you?
Enjoy!
