Ordinary People Can Create Extraordinary Outcomes through Collaboration
Thomas, Pat
COABE Journal: The Resource for Adult Education, v8 n2 p79-82 Fall 2019
Collaboration is a practice that many providers say they are doing but rarely do we see it translated into the actual work that staff connected with our learners--our customers--do. Our customers face multiple barriers in their desire to succeed and move forward. Leadership with a focus on creating partnerships to address the multiple barriers of these customers is critical. Leadership with a focus on collaboration must be done with intentionality, for it is hard work. We must proceed recognizing that trust among partners is essential, and we must give up individual control of the final product created. This paper examines important lessons learned through many collaborations among a rural program, Southwest Adult Basic Education (SW ABE), workforce partners, Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU), and additional agencies and offers concrete examples of successful results.
