Cultivating Collaboration

Work environments with plenty of collaboration are conducive to the generation of novel ideas, beneficial for innovation and organizational improvement. Because not all individuals feel comfortable readily sharing opinions and ideas, leaders must cultivate an environment where sharing is safe and encouraged as part of the individual’s daily performance. Fostering a culture of consistent collaboration is one of the first steps that must be taken for an organization to share innovative goals, and teammate involvement is essential for productivity and strong company culture. An individual, team, and organization can create a free flow of ideas and spark the fuel of inspiration by learning skills for providing and accepting constructive feedback. This course provides participants with collaborative strategies, including: how to manage group discussions, how to create a comfortable collaborative environment, and how to reconcile different communication styles in a collaborative setting.

Upon completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Foster an innovative environment of communication and collaboration
• Encourage the free flow of ideas by their team and organization
• Inspire collaboration by others
• Give and accept constructive feedback
• Identify the Rules of Engagement in a collaborative environment
• Facilitate collaborative discussion
• Apply different communication styles for facilitating collaboration
