Curious Minds at Work

CM 201: Rob Cross on Collaboration Overload


Listen Later

There are countless benefits to collaboration. We get new ideas. Solve problems more quickly. Produce higher quality work.
But too much of anything can turn toxic. And it doesn’t have to be that way.
Rob Cross, Professor of Global Leadership at Babson College, has spent time with hundreds of leaders who’ve figured out how to collaborate more effectively. What he learned led to him develop a framework to help others do the same. It’s a combination of guardrails and behaviors, all of which lead to more strategic and satisfying collaborations. And Rob shares these insights in his book, Beyond Collaboration Overload: How to Work Smarter, Get Ahead, and Restore Your Well-Being.
