Working Together:

Collaborative Planning & Joint Ventures for Shared Success

Synergy and innovation.  Economy.  Improved customer service.  Benefits like these drive people to collaborate with new partners, both inside and outside their organizations.  Yet working with new partners can present its own set of challenges.

What can leaders do to energize partnerships, teamwork, and shared success within their units or across organizational boundaries?
