PROBLEM: We Suck At Collaboration

  • An article on career statistics site, zippia.com found 86% of employees in leadership positions blame lack of collaboration as the top reason for workplace failures.
  • One of our greatest fears of collaboration is our fear of failure: Article on Globe News Wire finds from 1,083 respondents surveyed, 1 in 3 Americans were found to be scared of failure.
  • Fear someone will steal your idea.
  • Another barrier is our lack of trust: The article, Americans don't trust one another, on USA Today quoted research that found: only ⅓ of Americans say they trust others.
  • Internally struggling: In Episode #21 - #23, we talked about stress, conflict and fear. It can be extremely difficult to collaborate when we work with toxic people.

TYPICALLY, PEOPLE WITH LOW EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE REALLY STRUGGLE TO COLLABORATE. Here are some signs to look out for from Very Well Mind:

  • You are Always Have to Be 'Right'
  • You are Oblivious to Other People's Feelings
  • You Blame Others for Your Problems
  • You Have Emotional Outbursts
  • You Turn Conversations Toward Yourself

BENEFITS OF COLLABORATION

  • CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: Don’t start a business with a dumbass or a toxic person because you fear doing it alone!!!
  • Your brain knows what it knows. Forming new pathways in the brain will be essential in starting a business.
  • Break through decision paralysis.
  • Having a group of peers who encourage and challenge you.
  • Accountability. “Hey, how is that business idea coming along?”
  • Last but not least, if you are starting a business, collaborating with customers or potential customers is THE GREATEST MOST IMPORTANT activity.
