There is difference between collaboration and co-operation both has one similarity which is working together. Collaboration is a word which is normally used in the media environment that means working together with another individual on an assignment or a project which may be a song or movie. An example will be when Xfactor finalist worked together in the production of the music track to encourage people to donate for the disaster which happens in Haiti. So basically collaborating seeing how both parties might provide various information to each other needs.
Whereas co-operation is working with another individual on general terms or being helpful to the other party. A very good example will be this particular module which xristine and Aziz co-operate together in teaching this unit. Another one will be when police are carrying out investigation on a particular incident so witnesses have to co-operate with them to give any information so as to help them get to the truth.
According to the sheeps in the video they were not collaborating with anybody but there were co-operating with one another

What about the sheep? The sheep do not understand the aims of sheepherding; they only understand their instincts of flocking together. Any goals achieved by extreme sheepherding are not shared with the sheep as they would not understand any of the goals except their natural instincts.
What are they doing? They are simply cooperating with themselves by flocking together due together natural instincts; they would not be able to collaborate with the sheepherders to achieve any goal.
The shepherds don’t moan about the sheep not working with them or failing to do as they were asked. They don’t refuse to be in the same team. Why do they work so happily with such awkward ‘team mates’?
They work so happily with the sheep because they understand that the sheep only understand their natural instincts to flock together and some of the activities they need them to do actually go against these natural instincts. This makes it not easy for the sheep to do but still do through cooperation.

What kinds of things can you do to make sure a team is successful?
To build a great team, it starts by creating a strong culture by defining a clear vision for the team and explain the mission in detail
Vision is central to the team building process. It is the essential root of leadership that ensures that every member of the team knows where you are going and what you are trying to achieve. Without it, the team and its members have no focus, no clear direction. Every member of the team may be a star, but without vision they will find it hard to achieve any meaningful success.
The members when they are exhausted and pushing them when they lose focus or interest. It means providing training so team members can do their jobs well every day and to prepare them to adapt when circumstances change.
Things to make a team successful:
- CLEAR EXPECTATIONS: The leader has to clearly communicate expectations for outcomes

I'm not sure I can agree that the dogs understand the purpose of Extreme Shepherding. They understand rounding up sheep but they couldn't know nor could it be explained to them the purpose of recreating ping pong, or the Mona Lisa or the fireworks effect.
ReplyDeleteWhen you made your list of how to work together in a team did you discuss this with your team and have you some plans to deal with team members who don't cooperate? Or perhaps your plan as a team is to make sure that you all really do work together!
