Description

Named the Best Management Book of 2021 by strategy+businessNamed one of "this month's top titles" in the Financial Times in September 2021Named to the shortlist for the 2021 Outstanding Works of Literature (OWL) Award in the Management & Culture CategoryA plan for conquering collaborative overload to drive performance and innovation, reduce burnout, and enhance well-being. Most organizations have created always-on work contexts that are burning people out and hurting performance rather than delivering productivity, innovation and engagement.

Collaborative work consumes 85% of employees' time and is drifting earlier into the morning, later into the night, and deeper into the weekend. The dilemma is that we all need to collaborate more to create effective organizations and vibrant careers for ourselves.

But conventional wisdom on teamwork and collaboration has created too much of the wrong kind of collaboration, which hurts our performance, health and overall well-being. In Beyond Collaboration Overload, Babson professor Rob Cross solves this paradox by showing how top performers who thrive at work collaborate in a more purposeful way that makes them 18-24% more efficient than their peers.

Good collaborators are distinguished by the efficiency and intentionality of their collaboration—not the size of their network or the length of their workday. Through landmark research with more than 300 organizations, in-depth stories, and tools, Beyond Collaboration Overload will coach you to reclaim close to a day a week when you:Identify and challenge beliefs that lead you to collaborate too quicklyImpose structure in your work to prevent unproductive collaborationAlter behaviors to create more efficient collaborationIt then outlines how successful people invest this reclaimed time to:Cultivate a broad network—not a big one—for innovation and scaleEnergize others—a strong predictor of high performanceConnect with others to reduce micro-stressors and enhance physical and mental well-beingCross' framework provides relief from the definitive problem of our age—dysfunctional collaboration at the expense of our performance, health and overall well-being.
