Lois Sonstegard continues her discussion with host Steve Harper on the Podcast Business News Network about the challenges facing businesses today. In this podcast they concentrate on collaboration and why it’s so important in today’s business environment. Lois defines collaboration as two or more people coming together to work together and develop a relationship to accomplish a common goal. She talks about why we don’t collaborate, detailing the flaws in our thinking that prevent us from collaborating with others. She also outlines the critical components for successful collaboration.

 

So if you want to know:

  • How to choose the right partner for a collaborative effort
  • Why mutual gain is so critical in collaboration
  • The importance of turning “What am I going to lose?” into “What am I going to gain?”
  • The keys to managing a successful collaborative relationship
  • Why you need a process that brings out the best of everybody
