"“Becoming a master of collaboration is a journey worth undertakingâ€
In this very well written book, Anderson makes the argument that collaboration and having a healthy team dynamic is what will solve complex problems. Anderson solidifies her argument by diving deeply into various disciplines outside of the tech industry, which I found extremely insightful.
I especially loved Chapter 8 where Anderson analyzes how a fourth-grade class debates. I hadn't thought that conflict and friction were a good thing to have in a collaborative team. In actuality, it sparks unique conversations and helps team members value each others’ contributions. This has made me more aware and mindful when tension and conflict have been present and has lead to successful meetings that would otherwise feel unproductive and hostile.
I recommend this book to people who are looking to oil the collaboration machine that is their teams. It’s important to recognize that this book is not only relevant for the tech industry but relevant for those looking to build out teams that work in the best way possible and establish lasting relationships."

Mastering Collaboration Make Working Together Less Painful and More Productive Gretchen Anderson Books Reviews
- While collaboration's at the heart of human experience and especially work, it's not something I've ever really thought about much in terms of a skillset to develop. But recently I've been working on more and more projects that demand increasing amounts of input from a wide range of contributors. So I've been trying to think about collaboration more strategically and systemically. This book has functioned like a great virtual coach for me. It clearly explains how to cultivate a more collaborative mindset, then lays out a series of specific processes and actions you can take to facilitate collaboration at the start of project and maintain it throughout the project's duration. As a result, I've started making the shift from thinking intuitively about collaboration – or really not thinking at all – to thinking more deliberately. It's pretty clear that with the way things are moving with technology, the ability to collaborate well is only going to get more and more important. I'm glad I have this guide to help clarify the things I should be focusing on.
- Mastering Collaboration is a great book to help teams work smarter together. This book is full of practical tips and templates to improve collaboration in the workplace. I've started using some of the exercises that Gretchen introduces and I can already see how effective they are. Part of the effectiveness comes from the angle that she took in interviewing across disciplines and speaking from her own personal experience to understand how leaders practice and use collaboration in different ways. I'm confident that the learnings from this book will improve your team dynamics and help your team work together in a more productive (and maybe even fun!) manner.
