Thoughts on collaboration

Every couple of weeks you should fill out the online self assessment form (you can also find the link on the Resources page under "for your accountability"). It will help you track your progress and the progress of your group. You may even think of something yo write on your blog in the process.
Here are some of my thoughts on collaboration. I have some termed them as "raise the bar" questions for you...

• When a group of people are collaborating what things might they be saying?
• What words would they be using?
• What would their voices sound like (what tone of voice)?

Coming up with some answers and focusing on these will help to build better relationships within your team. I'd also like to find out what you think about this...
Can you listen without 'hearing'?
I think there is "listening for understanding" and "listening for when it's MY turn to speak".
What do you think? Is there a difference?
