Authentic communication
[PROGRAM TITLE / CHAPTER TITLE]
Your team member identity
What’s your collaboration IQ?
Have you ever explained something to someone, it
makes perfect sense to you but they simply do not
understand?
Why does this happen?
One answer  different communication styles
In order to fully appreciate the power of
collaboration, we need to explore how we, as team
members interact with others.
So… What’s your style?
From self assessment...
 Did I learn something about myself?
 Does this information change the way I
see myself as a team member?
 How does that change impact me and
others?
A Collaborative Perspective
If each section of the beach ball represents
a team member’s perspective, this side
view only lets us see part of the picture
If we rotate the beach ball, we can start
to see the other perspectives which make
up our team
Outcomes of authentic communication
Practicing authentic communication in your team will
improve the following:
• Building trust
• Decision making
• Conflict resolution
• Effective delegation
These are the “How-To’s” of collaborative teamwork

The Three C’s of Trust
Question: Collaborative conflict
What words come to mind when
you think about conflict?
Conflict
According to research…. Conflict in teams is normal
Types of Team Conflict
Task
Conflict over what needs to be done
Process
Conflict over how things are getting
done
Relationship
Conflict that stems from interpersonal
issues
Conflict: Examples
Task: “A is not a concern right now, we need to complete
B first…” or “I told you to do C, an instead you did D”
Process: “Because you made the decision in that way, I
can not have input” or “spending money on your project
means that my project can not happen”
Interpersonal: “ Mr. X is so rude, I can not work with
him!” or “She delayed that report on purpose, because
she hates me”
Can you think of examples that help to distinguish the
different types of conflict? Does this classification help
to resolve conflict?
Conflict
How does conflict impact performance?
+ Positive: It can increase innovation and improve
decision making.
- Negative: It can increase feelings of injustice and
lower team members confidence in the teams
ability to achieve success.
