By Nick Ellerby, Angela Lockwood, Gill Palin, Susan Ralphs and Bryce Taylor

Is collaboration of its time? Why do we need to embrace more challenging approaches?

Working Relationships for the 21st Century: A Guide to Authentic Collaboration explores the necessity for and importance of increasing levels of authentic collaboration in contemporary forms of leadership.

It offers a process guide to how authentic collaboration can transform your organisation and ways of working, including the phases of developing more effective collaboration, and acts as an encouragement towards developing more authentic collaboration.

Case studies illustrate aspects of authentic collaboration in practice and examples of some of the deeper issues that can be generated when working in this way.

Authors Nick, Angela, Gill, Susan and Bryce have between them a wealth of experience of working across all levels in organisations. Between them they are Board members, CEO’s, thought leaders, radical change agents, team members, peers and humans. Their experience will guide more swiftly to a place where collaboration is not only possible but essential.
