Collaboration in leadership

You're team-minded and trust the people around you.

In leadership

• You build real agreement and teamwork.
• You bring diverse views into decisions.
• You build good relationships with other areas.

What to keep an eye on

• Seeking consensus can delay urgent decisions.
• You may avoid unpopular decisions so as not to break the harmony.

A first practice

Consensus with a deadline

Agree in advance how long you will look for agreement, and who decides if you don't reach it.
