Perfect for you if...

  • You lead teams or manage people and suspect your collaborative efforts are stuck because you haven't mapped how your people actually think.
  • You're frustrated that diversity hiring hasn't translated into better ideas, and you need a framework for making different brains work together.
  • You work in creative or strategic roles where influence matters more than authority, and you want practical tools beyond team-building workshops.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for motivational speeches or feel-good team culture advice without practical exercises to apply.
  • You believe the best work happens when everyone thinks alike or when hierarchy and clear pecking orders are in place.
  • You want quick fixes or a three-step formula. This is grounded in fifty years of research and requires genuine engagement.

About this book

Collaborative Intelligence draws on cognitive science and work with Fortune 500 companies to present practices and strategies for developing collaborative skills. Collaborative intelligence is defined as the ability to think with others on behalf of shared goals. The book teaches readers how to value intellectual diversity, recognize their own thinking patterns, and map team talents to align on a course of action. The book is based on more than fifty years of original research by Dawna Markova, who has a background in cognitive neuroscience, and Angie McArthur. Both have worked as Professional Thinking Partners to CE Os and creative professionals. According to the authors, managers who appreciate intellectual diversity can lead teams to innovation, employees who understand it can work from their strengths, and teams that understand it can collaborate effectively together.
