Some collaborative skills , i use to apply for creating a positive atmosphere are:
1) open mindedness
For example, when my project is in need of a brainstorm session, i use make it clear that all ideas are on the table before any one idea can be shot down or picked apart. That way, all ideas will have equal opportunity to be heard, mulled over, and criticized or expanded upon. Formalizing this process will gradually refine one of the key skills for effective collaboration.
2) communication
Clear and thoughtful communication is another must-have for successful collaboration. Our people will need to be able to express themselves to each other.
3) organization
Collaboration can’t be successful unless people are able to delegate workload, take care of their responsibilities, and keep themselves organized—and that’s why organization is another crucial collaboration skill. Ideally, this isn’t a skill that I'll need to teach your people (assuming of course you’ve made an effort to hire organized people). But sometimes things don’t turn out as planned.
