Listening: A key skill for collaboration

It may seems like a lot of work to listen to others and build understanding. Sometimes we don’t take the time to hear or read about ideas being put forward by others.

Collaboration Tables 3: A Chemotherapy Room Table

Tables, like the Round Table of King Arthur or the Algonquin Group, promote discussion. But tables can support intense day-to-day collaborative work, too.

Great Collaboration Tables 2 – The Algonquin Round Table

In the second of a series about legendary meeting tables, we’re looking at the Algonquin Round Table, which brought together some America’s wittiest and most perceptive minds of early 20th century. Collaboration happens at tables. This group’s table meetings amplified the creative output of all members. Their insights and collaborative genius spread to other ventures in writing, art, movies, plays, and politics—American culture—even after…

In this series, let’s look at one that comes to us through the mists of time: the Round Table of King Arthur and his Knights. According to legend, King Arthur drew the sword Excalibur from the stone—a feat that made him ruler of…

Collaboration and what we can learn from slime mould

Guest blogger Max Hardy looks at what slime mould teaches us about collaboration: that our identity is not lost when collaborating and that collaboration helps solve complex problems. A big thanks to Max for sharing his thoughts here. I’ve been reading a terrific book titled Collaborative Leadership: Building relationships, handling conflict and sharing control by David Archer and Alex Cameron. Drawing on the…
