AB  - A collaborative approach to the development of lower‐level
management skills was devised and put into practice at a teaching
hospital. Beginning as an open forum in which attendees questioned an
instructor, it progressively evolved into a controlled
“free‐for‐all” in which each attendee with something to
contribute was able to “teach” the others. Dealing with one
real‐life problem at a time, the collaborative management development
group entered into a process that eventually provided practical, usable
advice for the participant who posed the problem, and tested solutions
that all attendees could carry away on paper. A useful by‐product of
this activity, when extended over months and years and involving
hundreds of supervisors′ questions and problems, was a meaningful
distribution of the sources or causes of supervisors′ problems
(employees, peers, superiors, etc.). The collaborative management
development approach has enabled a group of working health care
supervisors to tap into the best that each of them can bring to bear on
any given problem.
