Get Your Students Hired
Audrey,
I like your definition. An important aspect of collaboration is the willingness to work together. If people do not want to come together to reach consensus or a goal, it is not true collaboration. The essential skills you mention go a long way in encouraging people to “want to†collaborate. I would also add negotiation as a skill that is beneficial when collaborating. Knowing how to give and take during a project is very helpful.
