Bringing Minds Together

I recently had the opportunity to contribute and article to the Harvard Business Review for a special issue focused on collaboration.  I was somewhat amused by the fact that when I asked if authors would have the opportunity to discuss their work and integrate some thoughts that this wasn’t possible – ironic perhaps considering the focus of the issue.

The link below contains the article abstract.  If you wish to obtain a full copy of the issue the directions to do so are included.  Otherwise, a limited number of complimentary copies are available if you contact institute@kingbridgecentre.com

One thought on “Bringing Minds Together

  1. Thanks for a great article, John! — it really enhances HBR’s spotlight on collaboration and it was a joy to work on with you. So sorry you can’t be with us for the event tomorrow night when we’re getting the various authors together with some of our Boston-area readers to pursue the conversation further. We’ll miss you!
