What’s in it for me? Find out how to become a better collaborator.

When reading about the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, it’s easy to think of success as a one-person show. But probe a bit deeper and you’ll see that success depends heavily on being able to form great collaborations with others.

And this critical aspect is more important today than ever before. Just consider a study published in the Harvard Business Review in January 2016, which revealed that over the last 20 years, the amount of time both managers and employees spend collaborating with others has doubled!

So how do you make sure you get the most out of your collaborations? These blinks will show you, by outlining the five most important strategies to get your collaborative efforts off the ground right away.

In these blinks, you’ll learn

how to step into the green zone;
why you should put your body where your mouth is; and
how to reach an agreement using straw designs.

Collaboration requires good intentions and an unselfish attitude.

The modern business world is highly interconnected, with teams spread across the globe that, with the use of online communication, can nevertheless collaborate with one another as if they were neighbors. As such, it’s more important than ever to have great collaborative skills.

So without further ado, let’s look at five essential skills that every great collaborator should have – skills so useful they’ll not only improve your business relationships, but your personal ones as well.

Every great collaboration needs to start with the right motives, which is why the first skill is collaborative intention which refers to having the right mindset for collaboration.

To make sure you have the right mindset, you’ll want to make sure to avoid the red zone and stay in the green zone.

The red zone is a place of defensiveness, where people are mostly driven by a sense of self-interest and the will to outshine everyone else. When you’re in the red zone, you’re not thinking about creative resolutions or how to find win-win situations; instead, your selfish desires will create conflict.

Where you want to be is in the green zone, where your mind is focused on cultivating successful, long-term collaboration, and everyone is driven by open and cooperative values. People in the green zone are opposed to selfish gains and are instead driven to find solutions where everyone comes out ahead.

However, it’s all too common for people to mistakenly think they’re in the green and unconsciously sabotage a project by being in the red.

This is why it’s important to always be honest with yourself and reflect on your own attitude while being open to feedback from your colleagues.

A helpful exercise is to ask your teammates for ten words that best describe your attitude or style.

What you want to be on the lookout for are words like “defensive,” “closed,” “anxious” or “competitive,” as these are telltale signs that you’re in the red zone. You can also ask your colleagues to inform you when you’ve mistakenly made a huge deal out of a small incident, as this will also help you stay firmly in the green.

By using the first truth first tool, you can make sure important messages are received and understood.

If you have any experience with relationships, you know that they require a healthy sense of trust, honesty and openness in order to work well.

The same holds true for a successful collaboration, which is why the second essential skill for collaboration is to be truthful. To this end, one strategy, known as the first truth first tool, is especially useful.

Good listening skills are a vital part of effective collaborations.

A strong and trustworthy collaboration is a two-way street: not only do you need to speak honestly, you need to listen with genuine intent as well.

In fact, being a good listener is beneficial to a relationship in more ways than one.

Make your choices wisely and take responsibility for your actions.

Are you the kind of person who believes that his fate is predetermined? If so, you might not give the choices you make in life the proper consideration they deserve.

This isn’t the best characteristic to have for a healthy collaboration, since the choices you make can also affect your teammates and the people with whom you maintain relationships.

Know how you fit in by being aware of yourself and your teammates.

If you’re looking for insight into team compatibility, there’s no better place to start than the FIRO theory, which stands for Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation.

This theory points to three traits – inclusion, control and openness – as the primary influences over how compatible we are with others.

The first steps to conflict resolution are to calm everyone down and understand the problem.

No matter how flexible you are, there are bound to be conflicts when working together with others.

This brings us to the fifth and final essential skill in forming and maintaining collaborative relationships: managing conflicts.

Make sure you understand everyone’s interests, including your own, and prepare a contingency plan.

In the third stage, after you have figured out the interests of all the parties involved in a conflict, it’s time to take a look at your own interests.

Your interests differ from your fixed position. Whereas your fixed position is the outcome you desire from a situation, your interests are flexible and you should focus on them.

To find a solution, break down the issues to find different options you can narrow down.

Let’s look at the final phase of the interest-based approach to conflict management.

The end result of this approach is to find creative solutions and compromises for your conflict, which you’ll have a better chance of doing once you break your conflict down into smaller and more precise issues.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
