Moment #59: Accountability First, Collaboration Second

Moment #59 // Collaboration is one of the big buzz words of 21st century leadership. But the concept of collaboration in business dates back to the 19th century, as an underpinning feature of the theory of the firm.Although there are a lot of benefits to collaboration, the pendulum has swung too far.

If you focus on collaboration first, you’ll end up with an all care no responsibility culture where results are poor.
