The Collaborator

2008 AXIOM BOOK AWARD - Bronze Medal WinnerIn The Collaborator, Winsor Jenkins marries his passion for leadership with his passion for sport, introducing readers to a new way to lead in today's highly dynamic and interconnected global business world. His use of soccer as a metaphor for leading teams and conducting business is persuasive when it comes to realizing the critical value of collaboration - along with the competitive edge collaborative leadership offers people, teams, and organizations.As the story unfolds, Jenkins weaves several novel operating principles along with a series of competencies focused on collaboration into a framework for leading teams. The principles and competencies come from the game of soccer representing a successful soccer team's actions and behaviors on the field. Combined, they provide a methodology for unlocking the Collaboration Code!Metaphors are like magic! When they grow into well-crafted stories as the one Jenkins provides, then the magic has the power to enhance your comprehension even beyond the limits of the storyteller. This includes describing and capturing today's realities in ways that teams can act-on in positive ways.
