Collaborative Competition™ seems like an oxymoron, but is actually a developed skill set that leverages women’s strengths as collaborators. Kathryn shares her stories and findings from 20 years as a leadership development executive as well as her extensive interviews with women leaders from highly competitive fields. Kathryn coaches you through exercises and examples, how and why to avoid falling into the trap of seeing competition as cutthroat and threatening, instead creating a new positive approach! While this book is targeted to women, it is also valuable for men as it explores skills that are critical to all successful professionals. Collaborative Competition™ will accelerate career growth through: • Cultivating the strategic mindset and a personalized, healthy approach to competition • Forming partnerships with pacers who provide feedback, challenges, advice, and support • Managing challenging people and situations and turning stressful situations into competitive advantages

Must have for woman under the glass ceiling,
By
This review is from: Collaborative Competition: A Woman's Guide to Succeeding by Competing (Volume 2) (Paperback)
You are a woman in men's dominated world; you are a minority in an unfamiliar cultural; you are several years into your career and ready to take on more responsibility. You think you are ready and you can do it as you are smart, you work hard, you had been a straight As students in school and great track record on any project you had involved. But suddenly, you found out just getting the outstanding result no longer enough for promotion or getting included in upper management circle. You hate organization politics, but seem like you can't avoid it ... Yes, you hit the glass ceiling!
If this sounds like you, Kathryn's : Collaborative Competition may change your life. This book provides structured way for you to become "political savvy". The unique approach by Kathryn Mayer directs you to understand yourself first, understand your needs and stress sign, then building the comfort zone by developing your own unique network. This book helps you to "play your best game" and give you the best chance to win. It is very insightful for me; it may also be for you.

This review is from: Collaborative Competition: A Woman's Guide to Succeeding by Competing (Volume 2) (Paperback)
This is a fabulous book. It really resonated with me. It's filled with useful worksheets, exercises, and information to support strategic thinking. I love the four categories of mindsets she has come up with - Noncompetitive Individual Contributor, Situational Collaborative Competitor, Collaborative Competitor, and Perfectionist Competitor. The perfectionist competitor is linked to micro management and is an example of unhealthy competition. When you are getting the benefits of healthy competition, i.e. being self challenging, and combine it with collaboration the results are win win. [...]
