Collaborative Leadership


Think of using collaborative leadership in a situation where there are no people who are in charge because there is a task that is too complex for one person so the power is shared throughout a group and they take on responsibilities to conclude the task successfully.

What did you find interesting or new about Collaborative Leadership (CL)?

  1. The difference between cooperation and collaboration is, cooperation is where individuals share relevant information and resources in support of each other’s goals, rather than a shared goal. The goal could be achieved successfully as a result, but it comes from the individual and not from a collective team effort. Collaboration is working together to create something new in support of a shared vision. This is not through individual effort, when something is created it is from the shared vision.

    What I found interesting about collaborative leadership is it encourages ownership of the enterprise. Involving every individual in the decision making process and problem solving. “It makes what people are doing theirs, rather than something imposed on them by someone else.”

  2. Cooperation is where everyone works together to achieve a goal, but the goal is determined by one person and everyone follows that. Collaboration is where everyone works together to achieve a goal, but the goal is determined and achieved by everyone involved. The difference is that collaboration has a shared goal rather than just one persons goal like in cooperation.

    Something new I found out about collaborative leadership is that trust is a major component when working together to achieve their shared goal. Everyone is given a lot of responsibility and they all have to trust that their peers are going to do their part.

    1. I totally agree with your comment, and how you explained the differences between cooperation and collaboration. I like how you used that trust is a 'major component' when working together to achieve their shared goal. Awesome Alecia!!

  3. Cooperation is when everybody in a group or team, successfully works together to achieve a goal, that one person (eg leader) sets but is still a group effort that involves everyone.
    Collaboration however, is more of a 'shared effort' that has goals that is collectively made as a whole group.

    What I found interesting about cooperation and collaborative leadership, was the major difference on how a goal is actually achieved. Beforehand, I just thought that they both virtually meant the same thing, but now I am more aware to which work I use selectively, and how I use it.

  4. Co-operation sometimes means that a member can be apart of a group but not really contributing or being heard. Collaboration means that everybody's ideas and contributions are considered and valued.

    Something that I found interesting about collaborative leadership is that leaders and team members are equally valued and work closely together on a daily basis. I found this interesting because when you are all treated equally I believe you feel more valued and your voice gets to be heard.

    1. I concur that being treated equally communicates to the person that their ideas,their capabilities are valued Ngawaiora. In fact,I have often found that the most agitative members of a class,group or team are like this because they DON'T feel valued. So,how do you, the leader behave to assure that person that they have been heard? Once they start contributing to the group vision, they can have a hugely positive impact.

  5. Cooperation means that a group of people work together to achieve a leaders goal, and they workers don’t really have a say. Where as collaboration is when everyone’s ideas are considered while working toward a group made goal.

    I found that the difference between cooperation and collaboration was quite interesting because I always thought that they meaned practically the same thing.

  6. Collaboration is the use of multiple opinions to come to a group agreement towards the “group goal”. With collaboration every member of the vision has a voice that will be taken and discussed by the group to form an agreed upon strategy or method. Cooperation is more along the lines of one person having a goal and the rest of the group is there to help contribute towards “their goal”.

    Something new that I learnt about collaborative leadership is that it is very difficult to achieve because every individual has to have trust in themselves and trust that every one of their team has the capability to achieve their own part of the collaborative task. Not only trust is needed also good relationships and a comfortable environment so people are not afraid to share their ideas to the group.

  7. Collaboration is working together with a group to create something new in support of having the same vision or end goal. Cooperation is more where individuals exchange relevant information and resources in support of each other's goals and its more to do with yourself

    something new that i learnt about collaborative leadership that the group will not work together efficiently if there is not a good relationship between the leader and followers. needs to be a good environment to work in where everyone feels confident

  8. The differences between cooperation and collaboration is that collaboration is working together to create something new in support of a shared vision. The key points are that it is not through individual effort, something new is created, and that the glue is the shared vision. Instead the cooperation is where individuals exchange relevant information and resources in support of each other’s goals, rather than a shared goal. Something new may be achieved as a result, but it arises from the individual, not from a collective team.
    About collaborative leadership I find really interesting the huge different between collaboration and cooperation, and most of all the differences between a traditional leadership and a collaborative leadership.
