Where Two or Three Gather Together: A New Perspective on Effective Team Collaboration

Online | September 17, 2024 | 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm ET


Learn the most effective collaboration style for each of the primary leadership styles represented in the Five Paths to Leadership℠ .

Overview

Team, committee, and group-based work abounds in higher education. But many struggle to collaborate effectively in these settings because not everyone comes to the table with the same understanding, expectation, and collaboration style. While teams are often designed to bring together different voices and perspectives, most leaders default to a singular approach to teamwork that works well for some, but that also causes frustration, withdrawal, or conflict for others.  

In this event, we’ll use the Five Paths to Leadership℠ as a framework to introduce the four different collaboration styles that are at play within any given team. We’ll walk you through a detailed explanation of each path and provide tactics that leaders and team members alike can use to approach collaboration and group-based work more effectively. You will leave with a more nuanced understanding of the collaboration types that yield the best results based on the outcomes you are trying to achieve, rather than defaulting to one style based on comfort or personal preference.  

Who should attend?

This program is designed for anyone who is interested in furthering their knowledge of the most effective ways to include the Five Paths to Leadership℠ in their personal and team approaches. The training will be most beneficial to those at “Five Paths campuses” who have begun to infuse Five Paths language into their day-to-day interactions.

Agenda

I. Review of The Five Paths to Leadership℠ Primary Styles
We will briefly review leadership styles associated with the Five Paths.
(If you’re new to the model, we suggest you attend the live debrief session or access the video course first to get a deeper dive of the model.)

II. Four Collaboration Styles
Often, leaders believe that collaboration is one specific thing without considering that those around the table may have a different understanding. In this section, we will review four collaboration styles to help leaders to identify multiple approaches they can use to achieve common goals with intentionality.

III. Mapping Leadership Styles to Collaboration Styles
With a clearer understanding of both leadership and collaboration styles, skills related to the most effective blends to improve and enhance outcomes will be presented to conclude the training.
