COLLABORATE INSTEAD

 

Collaboration is a cooperation in which individuals are not necessarily bound contractually. Collaboration is a business concept and strategy that brings together individuals of different ideologies, backgrounds and competencies to work together in achieving organisational goals. In collaboration, they work decisively and intentionally to solve problems and resolve issues. It is usually a win-win situation for everybody.

It is also very important to note that organisations don’t collaborate, individuals do. Organisations sign partnerships. Organisational partnerships can create a platform for individuals between different organisations to collaborate in order to live up to the terms of the partnership.

Collaboration and partnership are closely related but they are different from each other. In a partnership, organisations undergo a contractual process of negotiations; specifying of joint rights and responsibilities, equal share of risks and rewards and what documents to share between each other. Collaboration is the breeding ground for future successes in the organisation. 

Collaboration isn’t just for people of the same level or rank within an organisation, management can collaborate with junior employees of the organisation to achieve set objectives. The best way to actually achieve employee loyalty is through collaboration, it gives employees a great sense of belonging and ownership of the business.

Collaboration doesn’t always guarantee success, but it sure feels good putting your heads together instead of knocking them. Collaboration is beneficial to an organisation because;

• 1.      The process is open, inclusive, transparent, accessible and tailored to local needs
• 2.      Meetings are usually civil and safe. No bullies are allowed
• 3.      Deliberations are usually thoughtful, frank and never in a rush
• 4.      Commitments are honoured and trust is usually built on this confidence
• 5.      It’s a team effort, so everyone share in the wins and losses

There are several reasons why organisations must collaborate, some of them include;

• 1.      Collaboration provides an opportunity to bridge traditional divides within the organisation
• 2.      There is a track record of organisations that have been better managed as a result of collaboration
• 3.      It’s one of the ways of assuring public access to management decisions
• 4.      It assures even growth and development of the organisation

Organisations that must thrive in the face of external competitions must encourage their employees to work collaboratively with each other. Management should avoid pitching employees against each other, they should create a platform that will cause collaboration to thrive. Squash the competition, collaborate instead. 

SQUASH THAT COMPETITION

While building a business, competition is one of the factors that can make or mar the business. There are competitions that are healthy for businesses. When competition causes you as a business owner to think strategically and creatively on how to maximise your business potentials, then competition is healthy for your business. When you compete unhealthily, you further destroy your business’s core values and ruin your chances of achieving your organisation’s goals. Competition is like a double edged sword; on one hand it will help your business grow, and on the other hand, it can destroy your business.

There are two types of competition, external competition and internal competition. External competition helps you as a business owner to think strategically and creatively. External competition compels, motivates and spurs an organisation into action to penetrate the market, gain market share and actively engage in customer relations to retain customers and increase customer base. External competition triggers creativity and hard work. It causes you to improve. In how to eliminate competition, I discussed how you can maximise your business potentials to eliminate every form of external competition. But internal competition which is our major concern in this particle article is destructive, unhealthy, and so not cool for any business.

No business thrives in the face of internal competition because it is usually unhealthy.

This kind of competition is usually among team members, colleagues, management staff and even board members. It is usually a battle for supremacy within an organisation. Employees want to prove to each other that their strategies, methods, ideologies and techniques are better than their colleagues within the same organisation. They usually try to achieve this by every means possible even if it means destroying what they have built.

Internal competition does the following to an organisation;

• 1.      It puts employees, team members, management staff at loggerheads with each other
• 2.      It destroys teams
• 3.      It kills motivation
• 4.      It makes the work environment highly toxic and less conducive
• 5.      It weakens an organisation and makes it vulnerable to external forces.

An organisation that must grow to become a household name must squash every form of internal competition among its staff members.

Team members should learn to collaborate instead. Collaboration will ensure healthy growth of the organisation.

FRESH MANNA DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - THURSDAY 13TH MAY, 2021

ANOTHER GENERATION (1) 

AUTHOR: 

REV. DR. O. EZEKIEL & REV. DR. M. EZEKIEL

JUDGES 2:6-10 

6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land. 7 And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel. 8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old. 9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash. 10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

MEDITATION SCRIPTURE: 

“And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. (judg.2:10) 

The disobedience of Adam and Eve introduced death into the human race. This means that the original pattern of continuity and immortality was broken. Meaning that man would die from the face of the earth, only his legacies would remain as memory of him. God established a pattern of what may be theological education with Abraham. _*“For I know him, that he will command his children and his house hold after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, (Gen.18:19)*_ You don’t need to go far to discover that Abraham passed on his Godly values to Isaac (Gen.26:25) and Isaac passed the pattern to Jacob. All through the time that Jacob lived with Laban, he maintained his identity and Laban testified to that (Gen 30:27). Today, we see a generation that knows not the LORD neither the works which He did in Israel, what went wrong. The dilemma Israel faced in her generation is clearly seen in the Church today. We have great apostles, pastors and teachers, great prophets whose sons and daughters are cultist in our universities. Recently, I saw the video of the conversion testimony of the son of the greatest preachers of our time. He was a great cultist who became a Capone and was even initiating other youths into cultism. I rejoice and also wept as I watched the video. Rejoicing because Christ has found him, and weeping because of the havoc he had caused the kingdom of God and the pains he had caused his parents. Proper Christian discipleship of the young generation is the key to continuity of our faith and divine patterns.

TURNING POINT:  

Proper Christian discipleship of the young generation is the key to continuity of our faith and divine patterns. 

PRAYER: 

Lord, help us to successfully pass the baton to the next generation, so that the legacy of truth and Godliness will not be lost.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 

1KNG.19,20; JN.2
