A 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.About author(s):Rob Cross is the Edward A. Madden Professor of Global Leadership at Babson College and the cofounder and Chief Research Scientist of the Connected Commons business consortium. For more twenty years, he has studied the underlying networks of effective organizations and the collaborative practices of high performers. Working with more than three hundred organizations and reaching thousands of leaders from the front line to the C-suite, he has identified specific ways to cultivate vibrant, effective networks at all levels of an organization and at any career stage.Cross has authored six Harvard Business Review articles on practical approaches to enhancing collaboration.
