That equates to $37 billion in waste for people to talk past one another. And worse, it's burning people out and causing them to quit. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis isn't a remote work problem-this is a collaboration problem, remote and in person alike. The reason is almost too simple: nobody ever taught us how to collaborate. Robert Berris asked over 100 leaders the same question: has anyone ever trained you how to collaborate? And the answer was always no. Companies say it's critical for success but leave it entirely to chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Hate Working Here\u003c\/em\u003e argues that great collaborators are built, not born.\u003c\/strong\u003e Berris treats collaboration as a model you can take apart, understand, and rebuild on purpose.
