Fierce Resources: Collaboration Killer: The Illusion of Inclusion

This week’s Fierce Resource was first published on the Fierce blog and was written by Fierce CEO & President, Halley Bock.

Collaboration Killer: The Illusion of Inclusion focuses on the need for leaders to not just go through the motions of collaborating for the sake of collaboration, and instead challenge yourself to only ask questions you really want the answers to.

“Too often, leaders play the role by going through the motions – they hold meetings to gather feedback or confer one on one – yet it is painfully aware that he or she wasn’t really looking for our input. Our opinions and perspectives didn’t matter at all. Instead, they were simply looking for agreement or had already made their decision and, predictably, engagement starts to tank. No matter how convincing you may think you are, people can spot the “illusion of inclusion” from a 1,000 yards away.”
