The Seven Dimensions of Smart Collaboration
The Accelerator identifies and quantifies an individual’s behavioral tendencies. These are not immutable aspects of an individual’s personality but their natural ways of behaving. There are no good or bad behavioral preferences. No matter where a person sits on each dimension, this strength can be used as catalyst to improve collaboration when used with intentionality.
