Collaboration is Innovation

Team collaborating is innovation! We are all creative and diverse beings. Innovative ideas come out of creativity and one of the challenges is that it can bring disruption and division. Often teams don’t stay together long enough to learn to disagree.

At this point everybody parts ways, not necessarily physically but mentally. Usually this is done in the form of politeness. Everybody pretends to get along well but differences exist.

Leaders know that disagreeing is good, as a matter fact it is healthy but most people do it poorly and perhaps it is because often the outcome is uncertain. It feels too risky.

“A true measure of a team's capacity to innovate is the number of failures it is willing to accept to birth the true innovation” Susan DeGenring
