To close the Health Gap, you need to shift from “encouraging” to using your leadership and authority to “create” collaboration. In this episode, we dive into the approaches to creating collaboration — anchoring it in a specific goal, requiring it rather than merely encouraging it and sharing power with those who have lived experience of the challenge. \n\nReturning guest Kenny Wilk helps define what collaboration really means. We walk through the book's progress formula (right people + good information + healthy process = progress), and explore why friction in the room is actually a sign you're on the right track. \nHIGHLIGHTS\nWhy \"everybody values collaboration\" is true, and why almost nobody does it well.\nHow people in authority can anchor collaboration around a bold, specific objective instead of leaving it vague.\nThe difference between listening to people with lived experience and actually empowering them at the table.\nWhat does creating collaboration actually mean, and how does it differ from encouraging collaboration? \nThe progress formula: right people + good information + healthy process = progress\nWhy friction in the room is a good sign, and why rooms full of people who already agree are a blind spot.\nKenny's reflection on acceptance: \"Not agreement, acceptance. Not unanimity, acceptance.\" \nThe difference between compromise (each side gives something up) and collaboration (you create something better than either side originally wanted).\nThe rowboat and sail metaphor: ten people rowing together beat one person rowing alone, but when the captain asks what expertise the crew brings, they invent the sail.\nKenny's challenge to listeners: identify 10 people who haven't read the book, send them a copy with a personal note, and pass it along.\nEd's practical tip for people in authority: just start asking questions. \"Do we have all the right people? What information do we need? What should our process be?\"\n\nCHAPTERS\n2:03 — Why...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0hQBt6xYK5BoKvJpJLVCG8i_hk6fL1i15b_orl1BAYg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81ZjM5/YzE4OTE0N2UyMmUx/YzRjNjBiYzVkZGVh/ZjZhZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
