Deb defines collaboration as ‘two or more known individuals working together intentionally to advance specific shared goals’.
In the conversation they talk about when collaboration fizzles and when it sizzles! If it fizzles and you’re in a collaborhate situation the impact on individual’s health can be very negative.
Take a listen to learn how to ensure collaboration is a success by learning the key behaviours to make you a successful collaborator and use the Mashek Matrix (see below) to understand more about how collaborative your relationships are.
