Up-Close with Chin Teik: Re-Think
Collaboration is State of Mind

Questions to begin this episode:

1.   Do you believe that everyone is built to collaborate?

2.  Are you an independent achiever who likes the control that you have on your own results? 

3.  Are you an interdependent collaborator who wants to contribute to a group’s results? 

4. How do you collaborate 

To collaborate or not starts in your mind. 

 Many leaders and managers assume that everyone is built to collaborate. Many believe that setting aside a day to collaborate or asking people to collaborate or advocating teamwork will automatically produce collaborative results. With this episode, I hope that you re-think for multiplier impact.
