Practices of Dynamic Collaboration

This book provides managers and team leaders with tools for boosting the quality of team dialogue for the sake of strengthening role ownership and creating collaborative intelligence throughout an organization. The authors provide a new, research-based paradigm for composing, managing, and linking teams that is rooted in dialogical thinking and critical of fallacies of logical thinking as to how the ‘real world’ works.

The book:

• provides analysis and intervention tools for boosting self-management and creating collaborative intelligence in teams;
• supportively critiques conventional managerial thinking from a perspective of research on the cognitive and emotional development of human capital;
• features demonstrations on how to create and structure high-quality team dialogue, team linkage, and team governance;
• re-thinks organizations as dialogue spaces in which to reframe diverse perspectives on work and on synthesizing human and algorithmic intelligence;
• assists organizations in finding an equilibrium between hierarchy and self-organization in support of both mental and financial growth.
