Peak Performance!!
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
—Helen Keller
While the term “collaboration” is being uttered in our conversations on the job, all of us are collaborating every day. As you read this book, you will see that collaboration and peak performance have taken on a significant meaning in the perceptions of the authors assembled in the writing of this book. More than ever before, there is a need for organizations to work collaboratively in order to maximize the strengths and talents of its employees.
Collaboration and Peak Performance: A Multidisciplinary Perspective for Emerging Leaders provides evidence of collaboration in action. The 16 chapters in this book draw on research, theory and the work experiences of leaders, university faculty and doctoral students. To help emerging leaders, team members, team leaders and team consultants understand what they can do to foster collaboration for peak performance, this book begins with a discussion of collaboration- a must for success and ends with how inner and outer fulfillment will lead to self-awareness- a must for collaboration. Regardless of your position, the size of your organization, or the kind of customers you serve, this book is a must read!
