Business leaders generally try to do the right thing but all too often the right thing back fires if those leaders adopt values without understanding and managing the side effects that arise. The values can easily get in the way of what's actually intended. Okay so the first value I'm going to discuss is collaboration. Let me give you an example. On a management training course I once attended, We were put into groups and had to construct a bridge across a stream using building blocks that we were given. The rule was that everyone in the team had to move at least one building block during the construction. This was intended to encourage teamwork. But it was really a job best done by one person. The other teams tried to collaborate on building the structure and descended into confusion with everyone getting in each other's way.
