HBR’s 10 Must Reads: On Collaboration

Teamwork breaks down in predictable ways, and this Harvard Business Review collection sets out what tends to fix it. The volume pulls together articles on how groups actually cooperate: what makes cross-functional work stall, how trust is built between people who rarely meet, how conflict gets handled without lasting damage, and what leaders do to make cooperation the default rather than the exception. Because the pieces rest on research and documented company practice, the advice can be applied to a specific stuck project rather than read as general encouragement. What makes it worth shelf space: • Ten articles on team dynamics, trust and cross-functional work • Practical handling of workplace conflict and communication breakdowns • Material on distributed and remote collaboration • Issued under the Harvard Business Review imprint Aimed at managers, project leads, entrepreneurs and students of organisational behaviour, and available from Boipoka.
