I am a big Ken Blanchard fan and maybe even a bigger TEDx fan. Ken recently appeared at TEDx tp discuss Collaboration. His talks breaks down into three areas:
- if you meet someone who wants to accomplish something, and you want to accomplish something, the experience is meant to be dynamic
- Rely on the different skills and experience people bring to the table
- Essence and form are the two characteristics of a solid collaboration
However, the message Ken ends with “It all goes Back in the Box” maybe be the most important message that we need to take from collaboration. Not only personally but I would challenge organizations to think this way.
