Becoming a More Collaborative Leader - Dubuque

Collaboration is at the heart of meaningful work, strong relationships, and effective leadership, yet many leaders struggle to practice it well. In this session, Lindsay Leahy will introduce a simple framework to move from idea to implementation in ways that bring others along and strengthen trust and collaboration on your team. Together, we’ll explore common pitfalls leaders face when collaboration breaks down, and how shifting beliefs and behaviors can create an environment where everyone’s voice is valued. Participants will gain practical tools for inviting input, navigating discussion and decision-making, and clarifying roles and expectations to ensure successful execution. By slowing down the process and engaging diverse perspectives, leaders can move from “me” to “we” and build teams that thrive.

You’ll learn how to:
Apply a step-by-step framework for effective collaboration
Identify common mistakes that derail collaboration and how to avoid them
Practice behaviors that build trust, invite diverse perspectives and strengthen team results
