How to Make Collaboration Work: Powerful Ways to Build Consensus, Solve Problems, and Make Decisions Paperback - 2002

by David Straus

The coauthor of "How to Make Meetings Work" offers five time-tested principles for making collaborative efforts more effective, efficient, and even enjoyable.

From the publisher

Every day we work with others to solve problems and make decisions, but the experience is often stressful, frustrating, and inefficient. In How to Make Collaboration Work, David Straus, a pioneer in the field of group problem solving, introduces five principles of collaboration that have been proven successful time and again in nearly every conceivable setting.
Straus draws on his thirty years of personal and professional experience to show how these principles have been applied by organizations as diverse as Ford Motor Company, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Harvard Business School Publishing, Boston Public Schools, Kaiser Permanente, the city of Denver, and many others.
How to Make Collaboration Work shows how collaboration can become a joy rather than a chore-a kind of chemical reaction that releases far more energy than it consumes.
