"Within us, collectively, there lives brilliance, even genius, which, if harnessed in the right way, can transform our work", says author Doug Miller in the Collaborative Working Pocketbook. "The main reason we collaborate", he continues, "is that no individual, team, group or, even, organisation can hope to have all the knowledge and skills it needs without partnering with others to meet its goals." Collaborative working is quite simply a dynamic method for solving problems and for creating and exploiting opportunities through two or more people. It allows you to be the best version of yourself in a way that benefits the group you are part of. At the heart of collaborative working are seven core behaviours - the collaborative habits. Each of these habits - trust, purpose, humility, connectivity, curiosity, disagreement and control - is described in a separate chapter and Miller explains how they can be applied from both an individual and team perspective.
„Glück gehabt!“ Bei diesem Ausspruch denken wir meist an „Schicksal“. Etwas, das zufällig über uns kommt oder leider verwehrt bleibt. Etwas, das manche anscheinend in den Genen haben, andere dagegen nicht. Ist es so? Autor Douglas Miller verneint das. Er meint, wir sollten uns vielmehr entsprechend verhalten, damit Glück eben kein Zufall oder von göttlicher Hand gelenkter Bonus ist. Denn laut Miller sind es unsere ganz konkreten Verhaltensweisen, die uns glückliche Umstände wie Erfolg, Wohlstand und liebevolle Beziehungen „zufallen“ lassen. Diese Verhaltensweisen lassen sich ergründen und nachvollziehen: Finden Sie heraus, was sich gut für Sie anfühlt. Denn Ihr Gefühl sagt Ihnen, was für Sie stimmig ist. Fokussieren Sie sich dabei auf das Wesentliche und arbeiten Sie daran. Der Autor benennt insgesamt 20 Faktoren, nach denen wir uns richten sollten, und belegt diese anschaulich durch Fallbeispiele von Menschen, die sich ihr Glück „angewöhnt“ haben. Beherzigt man diese Faktoren und verhält sich entsprechend, ist Glück keine flüchtige und willkürliche Erfahrung mehr, sondern wird zur mühelosen und lieben Gewohnheit.
