Increasing efficiency
It’s easier to work together to complete projects and meet deadlines when
you have the support of your team. Multiple people working together can divide
tasks in a way that leverages each individual’s greatest strengths. Instead of
struggling through tasks you’re not comfortable doing, you can focus your
energy where you excel and get immediate feedback on your ideas from other
team members.
Collaboration skills examples
Here are two examples of collaborative working:
Getting together as a team to share ideas and ask questions as you move
toward a decision is a great opportunity for collaboration. By sourcing ideas
from several people, you can leverage multiple areas of expertise.
Open discussion gives each team member an opportunity to contribute and
ensures all ideas are valued and respected. Instead of one person lecturing the
rest of the group in a meeting,
collaborative discussion
requires each team
member to participate and share their thoughts and opinions. This set up breaks
down the boundaries of hierarchy often found in the workplace and keeps
everyone engaged. When everyone has a stake in the conversation, meetings
become more productive.
How to improve your collaboration skills
Here are a few ways you can improve your ability to collaborate in the
workplace:
1. Set clear goals and objectives
When you’re leading a project, it’s essential you start by
setting measurable
goals
and clear objectives. Everyone should understand the purpose and vision
behind the project, as well as how you’ll be determining success.
Establishing transparency builds trust and inspires further collaboration.
Likewise, identifying goals before you kick off a project will ensure everyone is
committed to success and aligned with a common purpose.
