Читать книгу Manage to Engage - Pamela Hackett - Страница 27

Welcome to the new cooperation. It's bigger, better, and more meaningful. Collaboration is the new teamwork. It's more productive and more innovation inspiring. Boundaryless collaboration speeds up problem solving and learning. It also enables improvements in business outcomes from productivity to innovation, revenues to retention. When you look over the fence, connect and then collaborate with your coworkers, your customers, your suppliers, perhaps even your competitors, you get a multiplier – a performance multiplier. People engage and the business benefits. Competitive advantage kicks in. The deeper the connections, the better the collaboration. This goes beyond teamwork: super collaboration allows for input from nontraditional sources. Great leaders manage at the fringe as well as at the core of the business.

The takeaway: In this chapter, we dig deep into the need for collaboration and take it beyond borders and into powerful partnerships. Further, faster, together, safely. Knock down silos and open the doors to other teams – inside and outside your business.
