Hey there, Rebels! Are you ready to challenge conventional thinking? This week, we have the luminary Dr. Tanvi Gautam, author of Deep Collaboration: Five Crucial Conversations to Accelerate Team Performance Across Silos, accompanying us on our journey. Prepare to blow the lid off the dusty idea of silos and unravel the true potential of a deeply collaborative team. Our conversation with Dr. Tanvi Gautam strikes right at the heart of an age-old issue: lack of effective collaboration. We dissect how we, as HR professionals, may unknowingly be the architects of these silos. Ever referred to your workplace as a "family"? We'll talk about why this could be doing more harm than good. Then we go deep into the world of collaboration and explore how it can catalyze exceptional success in your organization. We'll steer away from traditional metrics and set our sails towards ones that value collaboration, learning, and future opportunities. Dr. Gotem will even share practical steps to foster deep collaboration, starting with cultivating an interdependent mindset. Now, if you think collaboration is all about playing nice and agreeing with each other, hold on to your seats, Rebels. Dr. Tanvi deftly navigates the role of vulnerability in fostering a culture of inclusion and collaboration. We’ll ruminate on the five dimensions of collaboration and how trust and openness are the bricks that construct an interdependent team. No Rebel HR podcast would be complete without addressing some hard truths. We'll discuss the harsh realities of layoffs and why respectful and humane practices are non-negotiable. Finally, we'll tackle diversity and inclusion, dig into the trenches of unconscious bias, and discuss how to combat it. Trust us; this is a conversation that will change the way you see your workplace. Join us, Rebels. Buckle up, and let's challenge the status quo together! https://twitter.com/tanvi_gautam https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanvigautam/ Support the showRebel HR is a podcast for HR professionals and leaders of people who are ready to make some disruption in the world of work.
