Game of Teams: Discover How to Become a Collaborative Leader

Game of Teams is a story about collaboration and the importance of coaching in order to become a collaborative leader.In a world demanding management innovation to solve complex challenges, the significance of collaboration cannot be underestimated. Defined as a marked departure from customary organizational forms that alter the ways in which the work of management is performed, management innovation is described in Game of Teams in the form of a new operating platform that, when applied, helps people harness the power of their connections across their team's networks to effectively collaborate, creating added value and win-win outcomes. The endgame calls for using the operating platform to help people function with a high level of interdependence and trust by providing a shared approach to establishing necessary principles, processes, and protocols - all important aspects of effective team performance. In fact, when it comes to virtual teams whose members are not physically together, this type of operating platform is critical to establishing trust - as it's a highly effective alternative to the more traditional, social ways of building and sustaining trust among colleagues who work together in person. And we all know that without trust, collaboration is impossible.But teams - and team leaders - can't be expected to simply create this type of working environment out of thin air. Indeed, an effective approach to collaboration requires coaching. Research tells us that a commitment to coaching increases employee engagement, improves productivity, and accelerates the achievement of results. Without coaching, team performance suffers. Game of Teams introduces a process for both in-house and external coaches to help support the team's well being, or psychological safety, in order to effectively collaborate.As the story in Game of Teams unfolds, a new manager is challenged to learn how to harness the power of people on his team to effectively collaborate and produce win-win outcomes. To be successful, he will need to become a collaborative leader - in other words, one who is able to lead with a collaborative mind-set and apply a collaborative skill set.
