What does French toast have to do with collaboration? More than you might think.

Last year I found myself in a tiny hospital kitchen in the Maasai Mara with six medical students trying to cook breakfast for dinner. The burners were too hot. The bacon came in sheets instead of strips. And the French toast was burning faster than we could flip it. Chaos. So

I asked two simple questions: “What is everyone’s role?” “What is the objective of this collaboration?” The room changed immediately.

This week’s Thursday Thoughts explores a question someone asked me: Is there a difference between working together and collaborating? Turns out there is. Sometimes collaboration looks like a boardroom strategy session. Sometimes it looks like seven people trying not to burn French toast in the bush. Either way, intention changes everything.
