• Career with candymaker revealed the teamwork sweet spot • Individual motivation is the key to collaboration effectiveness he says (Total Recorded Time is 20:58) Carlos Valdes-Dapena says we're doing teamwork wrong Companies and organizations that think they have great teamwork may be deluding themselves, says Mr. Valdes-Dapena. Traditional team building offers a quick fix, or distraction, from a team's real issues, he says. “I have a particular focus on what does and does not work in the realm of teams and team building,” says Mr. Valdes-Dapena. He built a better way while working in management for the candy maker Mars Inc. After 17 years there, he formed his own company, Corporate Collaboration Resources LLC, to take his techniques to other organizations.

Is more better? Maybe, if we are talking about ice cream. What about if we are talking about collaboration? Rob Cross would argue that we can become overwhelmed by all the connecting and collaborating. Pre-pandemic we spent 85% of our time in collaborative activities, like e-mail, phone calls, meetings… That is higher today. Rob is the author of Beyond Collaboration Overload: How to Work Smarter, Get Ahead, and Restore Your Well-Being. The book is a culmination of research on mapping the patterns of connectivity and collaboration among high performers. It's not that they didn't collaborate; however, they chose how they used their time and strategically connected. Rob shares why we tend to overextend ourselves and what we can do with the time we get back. Our well-being is tied to our healthy relationships and reducing the micro-stressors. In this episode, Rob shares: The unintended consequences of collaboration. Strategies to work smarter. Indicators that we are in collaboration overload.

[6:25] Carlos was familiar with the literature on how to build better team collaboration, but nothing seemed to really be moving the needle and having an impact. [7:15] Carlos went back to the drawing board and conducted his own research on what really makes a high-performing team click. [9:25] What most leaders miss is understanding each individual’s core motivational needs and fueling that to collaborate with others. [11:55] Carlos shares where he and fellow author Patrick Lencioni differ when it comes to building trust within teams. [13:25] We can no longer do typical “trust-building” exercises in this digital world. Leaders aren’t sure how to build trust now. [16:25] Leaders believe we can enhance collaboration and trust by doing more meetings, but people are fatigued out. [17:25] Collaborate better by collaborating less on what matters the most. Carlos shares what he means by this. [19:25] Leaders need to get good at recognizing when tasks require collaboration, and what tasks can be done solo. [22:10] Carlos shares his definition of what a good meeting is, and when to use a meeting effectively. [23:45] Organizations waste a lot of money on team-building exercises. [28:55] We think when people don’t like one another on a team, we think of it as an interpersonal problem. Actually, it’s a problem of personal responsibility. [32:05] We’re such an action-orientation culture that we focus solely on what you do, and not on what we did. [35:35] Kings, leaders, and more, throughout time have always had a “right-hand man” who complemented the leaders’ strengths and weaknesses. We seem to have lost it in today’s modern age. [39:55] Carlos shares the three criteria needed for an individual to find meaningful work. [42:35] The best salespeople Carlos knows are lone wolves. It’s very difficult to get a good salesman to collaborate with the team. [45:05] Listener challenge: If you want a good relationship, assume 100% responsibility for that relationship.   Quotable Quotes   “The paradoxical key to successful collaboration is individual motivation.”   “We learn to trust by learning how to rely on each other. Trust cannot artificially be created.” “Not all work is teamwork..” “Meetings must be engaging for everyone who is participating. Do not use meetings for straight-up information sharing.”   Resources Mentioned Sponsored by: Pass-life.com. Coupon Code: Duty.

On this week's Industrial Talk Podcast we're talking to Carlos Valdes-Dapena, Managing Principle at https://www.carlosvdapena.com/ (Corporate Collaboration Resources, LLC) about What's wrong with typical team building and what we can do about it! During this Podcast episode, Carlos talks about the 4-points that will unlock the keys to better collaboration: To get achievement-driven employees - the kind we all love to hire - collaborating, you have to structure collaboration so that it feels as satisfying as doing the individual work they were hired, and usually love, to do. The first step in framing collaboration this way is defining a clear and compelling "Why", clarify why working with someone else, or a group, is worth the added complexity and potential conflict; why collaborating will be better than just doing it myself. Once the "why" is clear, then you will need to crystallize the "What." What are the specific tasks we need to collaborate on. And, which tasks DON'T require collaboration and that are better done by capable individuals. Applying the principles to teams working remotely is especially important. Clarifying your team's Why and What creates a sense of team identity that will bond the team even when they can't be together.
