The Five Step Collaboration Cycle: A Tool for the Doctors Office

Frates EP

In most areas of our lives, we are collaborating with other people. Whether it be driving a car, buying groceries, selling products, seeing patients in an office, defending a client in court, working in an assembly line, leading an organization, or teaching in a classroom, individuals are connected to other people, and they rely on their skills of communication, cooperation, negotiation, and listening to accomplish goals. At the core of these collaboration skills are foundational attitudes, beliefs, and feelings, including trust, respect, and empathy.
