Collaboration

6-15-09.2
Too often, a group or organization which seeks to have its members collaborate, emphasizes form/formality over flow (the actual process of higher level collaboration)

Sadly, this tends to shackle more often than it facilitates quality work being done.

Real collaboration is built upon freely flowing relationships where high levels of trust and playfulness exist. Pettiness is normally non-existent. Participants in groups which work well do not feel threatened or slighted. The presence of these reactions/emotions is an indicator of a dysfunctional group.
