Facilitating Cooperation: Tools and Community for Shared-Power Teams

Effective cooperation/self-organization relies on our ability to share power with others. This means concretely, like when we’re in a meeting, who gets to talk? Whose perspectives are considered? Or who is held accountable for what they’ve said they’d do, and who gets off scot-free if they don’t deliver?

Even in the most well-intentioned teams, without clear alignment on what power is and how we collectively use it, the existing, unconscious patterns that support and enable some people over others will continue to occur, even if people want things to be different.

For example, consider this quote from a student in the Cooperative Leadership Certification Program “So, we align with Collab’s pillars and the principles — but have really struggled to put things in practice. This has led to friction on the team, and without a stronger container for how we can be together in those moments, we have really struggled over the past year.”

What if you had the skills and tools to put your principles into action through friction and struggle?

Join us for this hour where you’ll learn frameworks and tools that have been practiced and used by our clients in the Cooperative Leadership Certification Program. You’ll get a taste of what people learn in this in-depth online program while having a handful of tools to bring back to your team.
