All of us have to work collaboratively at some point - with coworkers, spouses, vendors, or family. Getting It Done is a great resource to help people learn effective tools on how to achieve success when you need to rely on others who aren't necessarily under your control. The authors say this kind of collaborative leadership consists of five main elements: clarifying the purpose of what you're trying to accomplish, understanding how to harness the power of organized thought, learning how to integrate thinking with doing, getting yourself and your team engaged, and learning how to give feedback on what's been accomplished. It's not a long eBook - just over 2 hours - but gives great practical advice on how to lead laterally.
