Document Summary
Definition: interpersonal collaboration is a style for direct interaction between at least two coequal parties voluntarily engaged in shared decision making as they work toward a common goal. Collaboration is voluntary - not possible to force active participation in collaboration. Programs can require collaboration, but that does not necessarily been that individuals will actively participate. Collaboration requires parity among participants - each person"s contribution is equally valued and each person has equal power in decisions. Collaboration is based on mutual goals - must share at least one goal. Collaboration depends on shared responsibility for participation and decision making - shared decision making and active participation. Individuals who collaborate share resources - share background info, knowledge, skills, resources, time, techniques, etc. Individuals value interpersonal style - results and efforts are significant. Professionals must trust one another - ease into collaboration; trust grows with time and successful collaboration.
