67% of respondents said they would like to collaborate more.
00:00:13
Working in groups is the most efficient way in terms of performance and results.
00:00:19
What about in terms of the individual development of our collaborators?
00:00:24
Does working together in a meeting help people grow?
00:00:27
Yes,
00:00:28
first,
00:00:29
because it helps them broaden their vision.
00:00:32
Next,
00:00:33
it boosts motivation,
00:00:35
and finally,
00:00:36
it sensitizes them
00:00:38
to working together on a daily basis.
00:00:42
Let's start with the vision.
00:00:44
Within a group in which individualities are
00:00:47
expressed and information and opinions are exchanged,
00:00:51
employees gain perspective on their own work and the department.
00:00:56
By developing their ability to understand others
00:00:59
and put themselves in their shoes,
00:01:02
they can better understand the issues at stake,
00:01:05
not just in their job but in their department.
00:01:08
Curious about other people,
00:01:10
they will develop observational listening,
00:01:14
benchmarking,
00:01:15
and analytical skills.
00:01:17
Their vision will consequently be more systemic,
00:01:20
making them able to carry out projects with more meaning.
00:01:24
Instead of simply focusing on their own road map and mission,
00:01:28
they will realize that the stone they are carving alone
00:01:32
contributes to building a cathedral with other people.
00:01:36
Upgrading from stonecutter to cathedral builder,
00:01:40
they will anticipate actions and changes.
00:01:43
They will have the flexibility
00:01:45
to adjust the size of their stone
00:01:48
according to what they observed the fellow builders
00:01:51
and what they see happening in the future.
00:01:54
As a manager,
00:01:56
you normally have this prior knowledge
00:01:58
acquired through exchanging with everyone,
00:02:01
including your own manager.
00:02:03
It is this knowledge that makes you the best decision maker
00:02:07
when individuals are struggling to decide because they keep their heads
00:02:11
to the grindstone by giving them time as a group,
00:02:15
you are also endowing them with the systemic vision that
00:02:18
will make them better decision makers and pioneers of innovation.
00:02:23
Let's move on to motivation.
00:02:26
Individuals who interact and co-construct boost their motivation.
00:02:32
It is more motivating to know that we are building a cathedral together
00:02:37
than to believe we are just cutting a stone in our corner.
00:02:40
Working in a group promotes engagement,
00:02:44
stimulation,
00:02:45
and a ripple effect from the most dynamic to the slowest.
00:02:49
In short,
00:02:51
collective stimulation generates individual motivation.
00:02:56
Together we feel stronger and capable of climbing mountains.
00:03:00
It has been proven
00:03:02
that it is easier to apply the decisions we have
00:03:05
thought about and about which we have been listened to,
00:03:08
even if our opinion was not accepted.
00:03:12
More involved,
00:03:13
we become motivated and even ambassadors for these decisions.
00:03:18
We also believe more in the projects to which we have contributed.
00:03:22
One of the best ways to create agreement is co-construction.
00:03:27
This is what the proponents of co-creation with clients have demonstrated
00:03:32
by holding regular co-creation meetings with the client,
00:03:36
not only can the client's needs be better met,
00:03:39
but more importantly,
00:03:41
it has been noticed that the client adheres more easily to the suggested solution
00:03:46
instead of kicking down the sand castle that took weeks to be built.
00:03:51
All design thinking approaches place the customer
00:03:54
at the heart of the construction process,
00:03:57
fostering motivation and agreement.
00:04:01
The same applies to employees.
00:04:03
Involve them
00:04:04
on the construction of the projects or in the implementation of
00:04:08
a change by asking them for their opinions and their contribution.
00:04:13
Their motivation will be boosted.
00:04:16
Freedom form companies that put employees at the heart of a group
00:04:20
decision making process talk about the power of adhesion through participation.
00:04:26
Jean Michel Brie explains in his book on group intelligence
00:04:30
that making an idea effective is due much more to adhesion
00:04:35
than to the quality of the idea itself.
00:04:38
E equals q times A 8.
00:04:42
The effectiveness of an idea equals the quality of the idea
00:04:46
multiplied by the adhesion it gets to the power 8.
00:04:50
An employee of the Freedom form company Favy,
00:04:54
a foundry company,
00:04:55
reports with a smile that the problem with this
00:04:58
style of organization in collaborative mode where decisions are shared
00:05:03
is that they can no longer complain.
00:05:05
How can you complain and not adhere to what has been decided collectively?
00:05:11
Last but not least,
00:05:12
meetings are an opportunity for employees
00:05:15
to improve their ability to work together
00:05:18
in a collaborative mode
00:05:20
which will serve them for their entire career.
00:05:23
Why is collaborative work set to be at the heart of tomorrow's management?
00:05:28
Because it is flexible and allows the client to be
00:05:31
put back in the heart of the construction process.
00:05:34
Because it will be an opportunity for teleworkers
00:05:37
to maintain social interactions with their colleagues
00:05:41
instead of working alone on their files
00:05:43
because we save time when we move forward together
00:05:47
if we have the right collaborative tools and know how to facilitate collective work
00:05:52
because young people are team players
00:05:55
looking for collaboration out of love for co-creation.
00:05:59
Because collaborative work fosters team cohesion,
00:06:03
which will later be strong enough to support all the upcoming changes.
00:06:08
Because rigid structures and silos are gradually being replaced
00:06:13
by a livelier and more organic form of organization
00:06:16
with many cross-disciplinary bridges and projects,
00:06:20
hence the flexibility.
00:06:22
Therefore,
00:06:23
by setting up collaborative meetings,
00:06:26
you will teach your teams to work together in a shared leadership style.
00:06:31
They will then use these collaborative skills outside
00:06:34
of their department and during cross-functional meetings.
00:06:38
It is indeed essential to learn to work transversely with other teams,
00:06:43
other professions without always being able to.
00:06:46
Hierarchical power to make decisions.
00:06:49
The younger generations believe
00:06:52
that the most necessary talents that they will need tomorrow
00:06:56
to succeed professionally
00:06:58
are human qualities.
00:07:00
This is indeed essential.
00:07:02
Working in a collaborative mode requires great human qualities,
00:07:07
being open,
00:07:08
listening,
00:07:09
being curious about the vision of others,
00:07:12
but also being assertive,
00:07:14
daring to express oneself in front of everyone,
00:07:18
taking the risk of failure.
00:07:20
Working in a collaborative mode
00:07:22
also requires leaving a competitive mode for a mode of sharing,
00:07:28
networking,
00:07:28
spontaneous mutual aid.
00:07:31
Demonstrating emotional intelligence
00:07:33
to understand and manage one's own emotions and those of others,
00:07:38
emotions that are exacerbated in group life.
00:07:41
Why make team meetings collaborative work moments to broaden the team's vision,
00:07:47
boost their motivation,
00:07:49
and finally make them used to cross-functional work
00:07:52
in project mode in an agile mode.
