5 Immediate Benefits of Having a Collaboration Mindset

If you are a highly Results/Mission-oriented personality, perhaps collaboration is a challenge for you. But in almost every role in leadership, you need the help and support of others. ��

People want to succeed. They want to be a part of something larger than themselves, they want to be valued, and they want to count for something. When the collaborative leader assumes goodwill, treats others with dignity and respect, and believes in them, they will be inspired to respond with their best.

Five proven, important benefits of collaboration are that it –

 

Facilitates alignment. When individual talents are aligned and working in concert, there���s a unity of effort that brings synergy and astonishing levels of execution. Promotes three-dimensional, 360-degree leadership and performance. It frees their direct reports to collaborate at their peer level, breaking down silos and working more efficiently and effectively. Gets better results. If you look at high-performing organizations, you���ll find alignment, good communications, and leaders that trust their people to execute the mission. Builds teamwork and develops people. Collaboration builds trust. The better you know each person, the more effectively you can work with them or lead them. More understanding means more trust, which means stronger teams that are growing as they learn from each other. Helps minimize risks. Working together as a team reduces risk in every workplace. Think about the operating room in a hospital. If the team of doctors, nurses, and support specialists don���t collaborate, the risk for tragedy and malpractice suits is high.

National POW MIA Day 2024

Today, we remember and honor those Americans who were prisoners of war and those who served and never returned home. DOD’s POW/MIA Accounting Agency continues the search for the missing, fulfilling the nation’s promise to leave no service member behind.

A national-level ceremony is held on every National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Traditionally held at the Pentagon, it features members from each branch of military service and participation from high-ranking officials. In addition to the national-level ceremony, observances of National POW/MIA Recognition Day are held across the country on military installations, ships at sea, state capitols, schools and veterans’ facilities.

Hannover Re Stockholm Leadership Conversations

Last week, I had the honor of speaking to leaders at Hannover Re Stockholm in Sweden on regional and global leadership issues. We discussed the importance of resilience and self-leadership in times of hardship and change, and we talked about the critical importance of courage, communication and collaboration, and how these principles can be applied in our personal and professional lives.

Grateful for the opportunity.
