Editor's Notes
- Collaboration: This is the simple recognition that more can be achieved by working together. It’s not rocket science, but more people equals more ideas, more productivity and more efficient and effective achievement of goals.
- Communication: Lack of clarity over roles and expectations can lead to resentment or even worse conflict. If you’re not sure how the role of one person is different from another, then you’ll never be able to work together effectively. From the outset make sure you clearly define team goals and objectives as well as outlining each member’s role and responsibilities in reaching those goals. Recognition and valuing the contribution of all team members are essential prerequisites to effective collaboration.

Recognition and valuing the contribution of all team members are essential prerequisites to effective collaboration. Use multiple channels.
- Collaboration involves people working together and so being able to actively and respectfully listen is essential. It is essential to listen to every idea, advice or feedback. While you may have ideas to complete a project, taking your colleague's opinion may prove beneficial. Take advantage of a colleague's area of interest and expertise.
- Communicate your intentions clearly before starting the work. Effective communication is essential for working collaboratively, especially when you are collaborating with other departments. Avoid department-specific acronyms and technical words, use language that is easily understandable by everyone. Also, communicate the work scope, timeline and contribution to your team.
- Simply being able to get on with people has to be the starting point for an effective collaborator. A people person has the capacity to work well with a wide range of individuals. He is a natural communicator and knows how to get the best out of others.
- Being considerate and respectful of others' ideas is an excellent way to build a collaborative work atmosphere. Respect the contributions of other participants. Need not necessarily agree, but be respectful of the skill, experience and creativity as well as their ideas and contributions. If you’re not sure how the role of one person is different from another, then you’ll never be able to work together effectively.
- Brainstorming and exchanging ideas as well as collaborating on tasks requires participants to have the ability to give and receive constructive feedback. Effective collaborators give and seek input from others in order to complete a group task or achieve an outcome.
- Effective collaborators must be committed and enthused. Willing and able to invest the necessary time and energy to completing the tasks on time and fulfilling the expectations.
- Let’s face it: collaborative projects often don’t go as planned. Priorities shift, obstacles delay progress, and problems occur, catapulting the whole project into complete disarray. Throwing up is not an option. To persevere, people will need to be able to adapt at a moment’s notice. Adaptability is one of those difficult-to-teach ones. Adapting well to change comes with practice and experience. Lead by example. Did things go completely haywire? Your best bet is to keep calm and focus on what the next steps are. Encourage adaptability by skipping the initial freak-out stage and brainstorm a solution to the problem. Be a calm, cool, and collected collaborator.
