“Collaboration overload” is a major source of stress, burnout, and exhaustion at work, a new book describes how to collaborate better, thus improving work performance and even well-being.
In this edition of Author Talks, McKinsey Global Publishing’s Tom Fleming talks with Rob Cross, the Edward A. Madden Professor of Global Leadership at Babson College and the cofounder and director of the Connected Commons consortium.
In the book Beyond Collaboration Overload: How to Work Smarter, Get Ahead, and Restore Your Well-Being (Harvard Business Review Press, 2021), Cross reveals how high performers collaborate in ways that enable them to be 18-24% more efficient than their peers while simultaneously improving their well-being.
