Radical Collaboration is a guide for individuals and organizations wishing to become more skillful at collaborative relationships and creating collaborative environments. The book explores each of the five essential skills with practical exercises to immediately increase the reader's skill.

Radical Collaboration first explores the range of attitudes people bring to the task of collaboration and relationship building. The defensive, adversarial Red Zone attitude is contrasted with a more effective and collaborative Green Zone attitude. Maintaining a Green Zone attitude is the single most important thing readers can do to increase their effectiveness when working to turn conflict into collaboration.

Readers create a personal "early warning system" and "defensiveness action plan" to increase their effectiveness in stressful situations. Radical Collaboration provides tools for being open and honest in an accountable way, and for being more effective at listening to others. Readers become more aware of the choices they make, and become more accountable for the consequences of those choices.

A relationship profile called the FIRO Element B enables readers to explore their relationship compatibility.

The past is impossible to change, but it doesn't have to determine our future. Radical Collaboration presents eight tools for breaking free of old, ineffective patterns of behavior by focusing attention on more effective ways of being.

Because a big part of success in relationships is knowing how to resolve conflict, Radical Collaboration offers ten strategies for encouraging collaboration and teaches readers a step-by-step method of negotiating their way through conflict.

Radical Collaboration ends with 15 things you can do TODAY to improve your ability to be in a relationship.
