Encourage a Culture of Collaboration
As the pace of change increases, an organization’s continued success depends on leaders who can build cultures where collaboration flourishes and creative ideas are easily exchanged. Deeply entrenched beliefs and workplace practices exist in many organizations that hinder creativity and eliminate collaboration. In this online workshop, we’ll examine the common organizational culture attributes that inhibit collaboration and creativity, and share strategies leaders can use to build the collaborative cultures that will ensure their organizations thrive in an increasingly changing world.
Program format: Live web stream + Discussion Board. Plus, up to an hour of one-on-one consultation for each participant.
After completing this online workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify barriers that inhibit collaboration in their organization.
- Take steps to encourage creative, inclusive and efficient problem solving and decision making.
- Find mutual benefit and purpose in situations where conflicting views, disparate goals, and incongruent motives exist.
- Form project and functional work teams that are engaged and perform effectively right out of the gate and through the duration of the effort.
