Here's how you can cultivate a collaborative culture in your consulting teams.

Some things I've learned on leading diverse teams: 1) Communicate and share information promptly. Be open, succint & clear with messaging. Don't fail on timing. Avoid oversharing. 2) Allow room for participation, but don't forget that leading is a democracy. Some models (e.g. Holocracy) will defend that it's possible to lead without hierarchies; some will say the opposite (e.g. Situational Leadership). Be open to tweaking your style if need be. 3) Engage in conversations with your teams asking for regular feedback. Be open to hearing things you woudn't expect to hear. Give yourself the opportunity to feel how your team feels. 4) Be a great mentor and make sure you have great mentors to rely on. To lead is a lifelong learning experience.

If you want results then bring the teams together and ask each - does collaboration get us to the best result quicker? The answer is yes of course but then get each member to think of one example. Discuss each as a team and create a rule book for yourselves. It’s by far the fastest way to make this work and you’ll soon see who will need help collaborating! Does it work? Yes! And because you’re being open it sets the tone for your leadership too!

A collaborative culture in consulting team is about like building a football team with start players.

Each consultant has his own methodology and way of working, by asking them to work together on a project, you will foster the best of them and create a positive sharing attitude for the benefit of your customers. Consultants can bring their own approach to solve the problem and working together, knowing what they bring to the company, it will generate a positive spin off with the other consultants.
