Overview

Cross Civil Service

Increasingly, working collaboratively is a regular part of any civil servant’s life, regardless of profession or grade. Effective collaboration typically stems from strong relationships and partnerships which take time and effort to develop and maintain. Effective leaders approach such relationships with a high degree of empathy and self-awareness.

This course will introduce you to the essential skills and behaviours that underpin successful collaboration. These include building and maintaining relationships; sharing control; and recognising and responding to situations of conflict. You’ll learn about the value of collaboration, how to articulate a shared vision for collaboration and how to maximise the benefits it brings.
