“Want Better Collaboration – don’t be so defensive”, by James (Jim) Tamm


Great article on collaborative/non-collaborative work environments!

It started with a discussion of research done on chickens and looked at the differences between collaborative and non-collaborative groups of chickens.  In non-collaborative groups of chickens the star performers become the stars by suppressing the egg production of other chickens – they look better because they cause others to be less effective.  He related that to many organisational environments and the behaviour of star performers in companies.



Enjoy!

  1. Jim,

    Great post on collaboration. There are countless factors that could be hurting collaboration at work. The key is finding the present barrier and working at removing it. Having a strong barrier can really hurt the business.
