Collaboration is working together in
support of a shared vision. The key
points are that it is not through
individual effort and the glue is the
shared vision
Cooperation is important in networks
where individuals exchange relevant
information and resources in support
of each other’s goals, rather than a
shared goal. Something new may be
achieved as a result, but it arises from
the individual, not from a collective
team effort
Coordination is sharing information and
resources so that each party can
accomplish their part in support of a
mutual objective. It is about teamwork
in implementation. Not creating
something new

collaborative leader - a 10 point manifesto

1. Seek out conflict early - address it openly and with confidence

2. Don’t expect your partners to have the same objectives as yourself – but look for the common ground
3. Understand that collaboration is not a zero sum game but if you want others to invest in your success you must invest in theirs
4. Value and use diversity – both within your organisation and between you and your partners
5. Only get as close and collaborate as much as the situation demands - collaboration is not a moral choice
6. Look to the long-term in relationships – and combine patience with agility
7. Listen hard – and then show you have understood what you heard
8. Be clear where the significant ‘points of interdependence’ are in a relationship – you can’t control everything
9. Engage others in your mission to be a collaborative leader – you can’t be a collaborative leader on your own
10. Be authentic in all you do – people need to know that what they see is what they get
