Michael Hall and Ian McDermott answer key questions about leadership. What is collaboration? How does it relate to leadership? How do you do it effectively? How do you pull people together, inspire them with a meaningful vision, and organise them so that a team spirit emerges and peak performance is achieved? The Collaborative Leader is a practical guide to collaborating with others and leading collaboratively. That means learning how to win the hearts and minds of those who we lead. Packed with practical and immediate action points, the book will show you how to turn around a non-collaborative group or environment immediately. You will find assessment questions throughout, step-by-step processes on collaboration, and an invitation to action at the end of each chapter: a personal challenge to step up to the collaborative level of leadership. Learn the core competencies that facilitate a healthy, joyful, and productive collaboration. The foundation of collaborative leadership is self-collaboration. The leader who cannot effectively collaborate cannot effectively lead. If you are to walk your talk, you need to demonstrate collaborative skills yourself, and this book will show you the ‘how to’s’ for developing the critical success elements of leadership. The best collaborators are those who have lots of fun collaborating. The goal can be serious. The collaboration can be fun. Learn how it’s possible by understanding the structure and processes of collaboration. Whether you’re responsible for team or organisational development, you’ll find plenty here to inspire you to transform your leadership into collaborative leadership.

Collaboration In Crisis The Rapport Review by Gayle Young Collaboration tools for every leader navigating change Ian McDermott and Michael Hall are both well-known authors within the NLP community and although this book has been published since 2016 it still has much to say that is useful and pragmatic for leaders today. Working across cultures and other department and function boundaries effectively remains a challenge for leaders, and perhaps even more now that we face the ambiguity and uncertainty that comes with decision making during the Covid pandemic. As leaders, we are no longer afforded the luxury of drawn-out decision-making processes. This is a pragmatic and informative book on how to use the tools and skills of collaboration effectively to inspire others and achieve more than you thought possible. It provides a methodology for leaders to apply their learning and explores both sides of the coin so to speak. The authors address the failed collaborative projects and the risks that can arise in collaborative working which provide insight and pitfalls to watch out for. This book is educational and thought-provoking for any emerging or established leader who is facing complex changes and uncertainty working in collaborative environments.
