*What Prevents Us From Being Better Collaborators?

We celebrate collaboration in theory. We put it on posters, print it in value statements, applaud it in leadership speeches, and promise it in strategic plans. Yet the lived experience is often quite different. Even in organizations filled with smart, well-intentioned people, collaboration too often gives way to competing priorities, individual agendas, or “the way we’ve always done it.”

This raises a fundamental question: If we know collaboration leads to better problem-solving, faster learning, and more innovative outcomes, then why aren’t we better at it?
