The Practice of Collaboration [free]

Great teams are built on effective collaboration, yet few receive concrete guidance on what excellence in collaboration is and how to achieve it. This workshop begins by defining collaboration and revealing its core mechanics. With that understanding, participants will identify the conditions that enable excellence, while learning interventions they can use from day one.
