Thanks for stopping by, and for your thoughtful addition. I would say that the cornerstone in your list of building blocks for what you call CQ is the statement: “Connect to a strong sense of purpose” – Nothing really survives the failure to do that, because there is no reason to do anything else in the absence of that.

I like your catchphrase – CQ or Collaborative Intelligence – I think it captures perhaps the core issues in the management of people in organizations – that is, in what are, after all, collaborative enterprises.

I look forward to learning more about your thinking by visiting your site, and will pick up your book on my next visit to the States.

Thanks again for your visit, your thoughtful comments, and, certainly, for your work as well!

This is a very interesting subject that has always been a project of mine, in fact I’ve even wrote a book on a similar subject. One of the areas that I have been published on is the subject of “Collaborative Intelligence” or (CQ).

The subject of collaboration in the work place goes hand in hand with individual leadership.

I try and teach management how to use practical “CQ Tools” and processes that help teams and leaders:

- Attract & retain high quality team members
- Create a sense of meaningful participation
- Collaborate in highly effective ways
- Connect to a strong sense of purpose
- Balance leadership and followship
