Dear Ania,

Greetings from getAbstract! My name is Jimena and today I have a summary for you that you’ll definitely want to share with your colleagues.
Collaboration is one of humankind’s primal dynamics, but formal collaboration inside today’s organizations seldom works. Companies suffer when colleagues can’t get together effectively to develop smart solutions to problems. Leaders might pay lip service to the idea of collaboration, yet few know how to bring it about. As you might suspect, there is a better way.
In Mastering Collaboration, collaboration expert Gretchen Anderson explains in practical terms how collaboration works, what it can accomplish, how to organize collaborative teams and which common collaboration pitfalls to avoid.

But it has powerful applications in almost any field of life. Learn more in this longread from the getAbstract Journal.
