""Four simple but powerful keys that will help you and your colleagues knock down barriers and create a winning team."" -Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager

Your people might be your organization's greatest assets, but it's their interactions with one another that determine the quality and the quantity of their contributions-and few organizations know how to generate the sense of excitement, energy, and shared mission that occurs when people truly join together.

This book shows how, describing four simple behavioral keys that fundamentally change how people work together-building greater trust, understanding, and collaboration.

""This book is filled with wonderful common sense; alas, uncommonly practiced. Anyone who wants to improve their own communication and their team's collaboration skills cannot come away untouched."" -Beverly Kaye, Founder and Co-CEO, Career Systems International and coauthor of Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go

""This book is a laser beam on what makes work and all other relationships work. It declares that face-to-face relationships, not technology, not clear objectives, vision and metrics, are what make organizations adaptive and sustainable."" -Peter Block, author of Flawless Consulting

Reviews for Opening Doors to Teamwork and Collaboration; 4 Keys That Change Everything

From the deeply personal to the cosmically universal, we each know the value of opening doors to others. We may sometimes forget how to do that, so thanks, Judith and Fred for the gift you have placed in our hands. <br>--Doug O'Loughlin, Principal Consultant, Civil Service College Centre for Organisation Development, Singapore <br> Fred and Judith have created a practical guide for achieving breakthrough change through a simple approach to mastering interactions. I know it works because I have had the benefit of using the four keys on a daily basis over the last four years to drive quicker and better business decisions and outcomes in two different organizations. This book is a must-read for those who want all team members to be and feel like they are a key part of the solution. <br>--Stan Howell, Plant Manager, Pennsylvania <br> Companies of all sizes can benefit from the notions, stakes, boulders, and tombstones terminology. Using notions and stakes creates a much more collaborative environment because they invite conversation. Likewise, organizational waste is reduced with the use of boulders and tombstones because people clearly understand the intensity of the opinion. Four simple words make a big impact. <br>--Kathy Clements, Vice President for Culture and Inclusion, Ecolab <br> Judith and Fred continue their marvelous way of engaging us and reminding us of how to collaborate effectively. As two experienced and encouraging guides, they walk us through an open door from behaviors that impede collaboration to behaviors that can change the quality of our relationships and enhance our work with others. <br>--John D. Vogelsang, Editor-in-Chief, OD Practitioner <br> 'Share your Street Corner' builds upon the accumulated wisdom of many years in the trenches. Both timely and timeless, its core precepts and principles are key to successful employee creativity, engagement, and inclusion. <br>--Thomas Kochman, COO, Kochman Mavrelis Associates, Inc., author of
