Hello all,
Collaboration can prove to be a tricky endeavor to accomplish. You cannot force parties into agreement, let alone make a difference by yourself. Teamwork is needed to become a part of something bigger than one's self. It can be difficult to work with others, especially when your opinion does not seem important. Often times, leaders are trapped into micromanagement; clearly not collaborating with others.
Typically, accepting an idea that simply is not one's own can create a challenge for collaboration. When egos and credentials are involved in these arguments, work almost never gets done. It becomes very difficult to begin a conversation regarding a so-called better idea, if you feel that your solution is correct. Obstacles arise from this, and it only takes one "virus" to destroy a group. People who are ill-informed always start the which hunt. They cry wolf which tends to create quite a ruckus. Fortunately, those who are charged with solving these problems can re-iterate the purpose for collaborating. Why is it so hard to work together? Seemingly, everyone wants the same final outcome... to be the best. Unfortunately, there are more ways to do this than Ben and Jerry's has ice cream flavors. Collaboration can never be forced. By encouraging others to follow along creates a more lucrative future possibility. No one likes being backed up into a corner, but rather would feel a part of something. Something great, something legendary.
The benefits of diversity can be seen from multiple angles. For one, it immediately provides a wide variety of opinions. The more opinions voiced, generally the stronger the solution. Secondly, it also creates a culture of success. Those form various backgrounds can accomplish more than a homogeneous group. Last but not least, it promotes understanding. People treat others as they wish to be treated. This is only enhanced with many walks of life.
That is all for this week, stay tuned.
