* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.


*By reading this summary, you will discover the secrets of constructive collaboration within an organization.


*You will also discover that : collaboration doesn't always have positive effects; individualism and group spirit can prevent employees from helping each other and exchanging information; to be effective, you need to distinguish between situations where cooperation will be successful and those where it will not; collaboration can be hindered by practical or psychological barriers that call for differentiated solutions; promoting teamwork involves both the corporate culture and its practical functioning.


*The collaboration of their employees in good conditions is a major issue for companies. Beyond the good functioning of each team, the lack of cooperation between sectors and rivalries can have negative consequences on their results. However, in some contexts, forced collaboration only leads to problems. To avoid these pitfalls, one must be able to determine when and how to collaborate. Collaboration is a reasoned process that must follow specific rules rather than being imposed automatically.
