Thompson combines broad-ranging research with real-life examples to offer strategies and practices designed to help teams and their leaders capitalize on what actually works when it comes to creative collaboration, facilitating the formation of a highly effective "creative conspiracy" among team members.

HARDCOVER Collaboration: How Leaders Avoid the Traps, Create Unity, and Reap Big Results by Morten T. Hansen In Collaboration, author Morten Hansen takes aim at what many leaders inherently know: in today's competitive environment, companywide collaboration is an imperative for successful strategy execution, yet the sought-after synergies are rarely, if ever, realized. Hansen shows managers how to get beyond collaborative failure through "disciplined collaboration" — a practical framework and set of tools managers can use to: Assess when — and when not — to pursue collaboration across units to achieve goals Identify and overcome the four barriers to collaboration Get people to buy into the larger picture, even when they own only a small piece of it Be a "T-Shaped Manager," collaborating across divisions while still working deeply in your own unit Create networks across the organization that are not large, but nimble and effective Employing insightful research, in-depth case studies, and company interviews, Collaboration delivers practical advice and tools to help your organization collaborate — for real results.
