Work cultures with a Collaborative style are environments where people tend to plan together, solve problems together, and complete projects together. Before any milestone is reached, many people have contributed, and collective accomplishments are recognized and valued far more than individual accomplishments are.
Cultures with a Collaborative work style
Caring
In Caring cultures, team members are there for each other, practically and emotionally. They will always lend a helping hand, because that’s the way to build strong connections at work.
Order
Order cultures are made up of people working closely together like parts in a machine. Individuals each have a part to play that closely aligns with others in the team.
Purpose
Teams with Purpose cultures are places of intense collaboration, where each team member is willing to play a small part in accomplishing something great. Solving big, global problems requires all hands on deck.
Safety
Safety cultures are built to manage risk and capitalize on future opportunities. Seeing what’s coming and deciding how to prepare is a collaborative process, and too big a responsibility for any one person.
Compare these culture types with those that have an Independent style.
