Book from Mighty Small Books Examines How to Develop Collaborative Intelligence in Business Teams, Groups, and Organizations
(PRWEB) May 15, 2007 -- A new book, “Teaching an Anthill to Fetch – Developing Collaborative Intelligence @ Work,” provides a practical outline for developing collaborative intelligence within business teams.
Says Stephen James Joyce, the book’s author: “It’s time to rethink the way we collaborate as a species.”
“Teaching an Anthill to Fetch” is the first practical guide to building collaborative intelligence with a ‘how-to’ approach and practical applications. At the end of each chapter there are ‘CQ Tools’ – exercises that develop collaboration within groups, business teams and organizations.
“High profile bacteria like MRSA are literally making a laughing stock of the world’s most powerful pharmaceutical companies,” said Joyce. The author goes on to say that, “The secret the super bug’s success is the high level of collaborative intelligence they exercise.”
According to Joyce, “Ants and bacteria can survive and thrive in some of the most hostile environments on earth. No single ant or bacteria knows how it all works – nor does it need to.” He goes on to say that, “Individually, ants and bacteria are pretty dumb creatures, collectively they are very smart. Human beings, on the other hand, are individually very smart and collectively, well…”
In Joyce’s unique book he explores:
•
Why CQ (collaborative intelligence) is just as valuable as IQ
•
What ants, baboons and bacteria can teach us about collaboration
•
How important a strong sense of purpose is to successful teams
•
How to install a powerful sense of purpose into teams and organizations
“In the environment we live in today, never has our ability to ‘pull together’ been more important or more challenged,” said Joyce. “Developing ways of collaborating becomes a game everyone needs to play. This is a crucial message for anyone working within a team setting, team-leads, and all levels of management.” In today’s business environment, getting clever together could be the difference between companies that thrive and those that dive.”

The book Blacks, Indians & Women in America's War for Independence addresses Black's and Women's history during the Revolutionary War.

He recalled when Black and White Revolutionary War soldiers ate together, fraternized, marched, died side-by-side and were then rolled naked together into mass graves. He was upset by the fact that in 1824, Whites were rarely seen with Blacks unless the Blacks were slaves.
