Being honest and respectful from the very beginning is a key for me. We grow as a team just because of those two things — helps us appreciate any opinion, also question things and get to the most creative solutions.
And it’s important to know there’re different fazes of team collaboration: forming-storming-norming-performing. Based on that we’re pretty self aware why we fight today haha and it will be better tomorrow.
Cooperation with people from different countries, with different mentalities and professions has taught me to approach goals and tasks more thoughtfully and to take into account the interests of others. It is this, as well as mutual support and trust, that helps to achieve results easily and quickly.
Do not expect others to have the same level of understanding or work interest like you do.
In communication, honest feedback is crucial. While flattering words may be easy to come by, timely and candid feedback, grounded in the interests of the company, is essential for its growth. Even if such feedback is often hard to hear, it is necessary for the collaborative success of the enterprise. Additionally, it is important to promptly identify anchors in communication barriers, especially in cross-disciplinary interactions. In such cases, assumptions that you understand something may not be shared by others. It is crucial to recognize what needs immediate clarification, as many listeners may not express their lack of understanding. If the entire conversation proceeds without addressing these points, the outcome is likely to be ineffective.

Communication and active listening are key in collaboration. Embracing diverse perspectives and valuing feedback drive innovation and team success. It's about building collective strength through understanding and respect.
Collaborating with others has taught me the importance of communication. It's crucial to keep an open dialogue with everyone involved in a project, from team members to clients to ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals. The best results often come from a collaborative effort where everyone's strengths and perspectives are utilized.

Creating a process for collaboration upfront and overcommunicating it is invaluable. Being able to use a shared Google sheet with a common system/process across the team on how to measure our KPIs aligns everyone towards the same goal.
Not everyone has the same communication style. Eventually you’ll come across a colleague that doesn’t get it because they don’t process information the same way that you do. Being able to envision yourself as the other individual or group and their response to your explanations or solutions can dramatically improve the collaboration effectiveness.
