Collaborate to Create Community
October 6, 2016
Collaboration is easy to talk about—almost everyone does—but it is not so easy to do. Internally and externally, all groups sing the praises of collaboration. They see the potential to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Sadly, lived reality is often different. Resources and hopes are invested, and the shared effort falls short. Learn how to see, understand, and influence the conditions so shape successful collaborations in your team, organization, or community.
An international conglomerate had invested millions of dollars and years of effort in first-class leadership development programs. Individuals found the programs inspiring, and their executives shared scattered stories about careers that had been turned around by innovative training programs and individual coaching.
Some people have a gift for seeing patterns in chaos. They make great artists and politicians and parents of two-year-olds.

We are connected to others in massively entangled networks of family, friendship, community, work, and social or political groups. These connections satisfy our social, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs. Often, however, we don’t recognize or leverage the potential of these networks. In today’s world, traditional networks are becoming less connected and new ones are emerging. These changing patterns matter because robust connections determine the strength of our responses in complex and unpredictable situations. Connections allows us to reach out, to build reciprocal relationships, to give and get access to limited resources. This is a moment of possibility, as new networks emerge and old ones disappear. We can choose to build or maintain connections that empower us and connect us in networks of mutual support.
In this LVW, Glenda shares insights about establishing robust systems. Learn what it takes to build powerful connections that help reduce existential risks of living in today’s complex world.
