Although collaboration is a true gift and allows many ideas, inputs and outlooks to be observed; collaboration, can also lead to controversy. We must learn about the controversies involved in collaboration in order to avoid them. First, when there are many members of one organization there will be many ideas. Ideas although great in variety can sometimes become overwhelming.
Everyone wants to have their voice heard in an organization. Although we can ask everyone to partake in brainstorming for events the monsoon of ideas that come after are extensive. Then there comes the point when some ideas must be pushed to the curb, irradiated or compromised to suit the needs of others. One or more of these actions will either offend or sadden one or more members who feel as if their idea was not worthy enough of implementation. Which develops a sense of competition.
In order to fix this problem of competition amongst members, it is important to address the group members from the beginning and note that all ideas are great and we must compromise in order to achieve all the goals. As sisters and brothers of they should have a common understanding of compromise. We are here to support each other and have our voices heard. Therefore, through collaboration: we must come to a common understanding and compromise on which programs, activities, etc to partake in or dissect in order to make all members not only happy but also enjoy their time together knowing that everyone’s voice has been heard.
