"Jump Now!" Lead Solution Focus collaboration to accelerate sustainable results
About this Book
Yes? ‘Jump Now!’ is a practical guide to inspire and guide you through the creation of an enjoyable collaboration that achieves sustainable relationships and results.
In Part 1, discover the characteristics you need and can adopt, to lead ‘Solution Focus Collaboration’. This synergistic approach fosters interaction, adds to your existing capabilities and provides you with a refreshing alternative to traditional methods. It encourages collaborators to engage and interact more, communicate well, and take on the most difficult challenges, with confidence.
Part 2 provides you with the information you need to lead the collaborators, Jump by Jump, through the ‘Free Run Framework’ to tackle a ‘messy’ challenge. Based on the metaphor of ‘Parkour’ or ‘free-running’, the framework is structured, yet flexible, and easy to learn. In each chapter, you discover how to use example activities that the author has used successfully over many years.
Apply what you learn to your daily work, with as few as one person or hundreds, in one organisation and country or across many. Whether face to face or online, spontaneous or structured, Solution Focus Collaboration and the Free Run Framework works.
‘Jump Now!’ is a book to pull out and spark ideas whenever you need to lead collaboration. Keep it near and enjoy collaborating!
“The litmus test is, will I encourage my organisation’s leaders to read this book? The answer is an emphatic, yes!”
