Collaboration Handbook:Creating, Sustaining and Enjoying the Journey
175 pages. From Amherst H. Wilder Foundation Publishing CentreConceived to help diverse groups work together to accomplish more than they could by working alone, this workbook describes what collaboration is, when it is the best strategy for accomplishing goals, and how to collaborate successfully.
Pragmatic and powerful, it provides instruction, case studies and worksheets to guide users through each stage of the process. Broad audiences will benefit from the book --- action-oriented users, foundations that want to encourage collaboration, nonprofit organizations, instructors in leadership and community development, as well as for-profit businesses that work with nonprofits.
Learn how to find and attract the right people; build trust among diverse groups; change conflict into co-operation and select the best structure for the collaboration. Efficient and comprehensive, the book shows how to reduce interagency competition; keep people involved, enthusiastic, and motivated; energize supporters with a powerful collaborative vision and deepen the roots of collaboration for lasting success.
Filled with tips, sidebars and original illustrations, the book gently leads the reader through the entire collaborative process.
Well worth reading to find out what collaboration is, and is not; or how to create, sustain, and enjoy the journey. The "can do" attitude woven throughout is especially inspiring.
