Is your organization working against collaboration?
Many organizations hold their own collaboration back without realising it. Is that the case in your team/organization?
How it works: Respond to each statement based on how things actually are in your organization today — not how you’d like them to be. It takes about five minutes.

Christian Monö · Natural leadership and followership
You’re already making good use of natural leadership and followership.
Your answers suggest people feel free to take initiative and that knowledge flows to where it’s needed. That’s a strength worth protecting — it breaks down easily when an organization grows or restructures. Your next step is less about fixing and more about putting words to what you already do well, so it survives change.
Several signals suggest your structure sometimes holds collaboration back.
You have both things that work and clear obstacles. Often the obstacles aren’t in the people but in habits and structures that got built in without anyone deciding on them. The good news is that those are exactly the kind you can do something about — once you can see them. Look especially at the areas below that weigh heaviest.
Your organization is likely holding collaborationship back in several ways.
Your answers point to an environment where a lot rests on a few people and where employees’ knowledge doesn’t always get used. It’s more common than you’d think, and it’s rarely anyone’s fault — it usually follows from putting all the focus on leadership. But it leaves the organization vulnerable and slow to adapt. This is where there’s most to gain from working with natural leadership and followership.
