Collaboration

Introducing BFNow Self-Study Module 5

This is the fifth in the series of posts introducing you to the modules in the BFNow Self-Study program.

Module 5 focuses on collaboration, by which I mean working

• by choice

• with others

• towards a shared goal.

This covers a very broad range of situations, from your day job to a brief shared volunteer task.

Module 5 and the two that follow are more outward, interpersonal and accomplishment-oriented than the previous four. This one focuses particularly on the “with others” part but in the context of “towards a shared goal.” The following two modules will focus more on accomplishing that shared goal.

From the perspective of the Foundational Keys, it supports Being Adept at Win-Win-Win Collaboration.

There's a lot in the module that that I haven't seen elsewhere. I encourage you to take a look, starting with the Overview:

• Collaboration – Module 5 Overview

• Common Ground – Exploration 1

• Decision-Making – Exploration 2

• Leadership – Exploration 3

• Group Optimal Zone Resilience – Exploration 4

• Diversity as a Territory – Exploration 5
