Book title is misleading
Books is about networking, LinkedIn marketing but not about real collaboration. This book could be a good article or multiple posts on same LinkedIn, but not a book. Content is common knowledge and after reading this book, I felt wasted couple hours of my time.

In her new book, "Collaboration is the New Competition," Priscilla McKinney, the CEO and Mumma Bird at Little Bird Marketing, takes readers on a journey into the evolving landscape of work and the vital role of collaboration. This book is not your typical business read; it's a fresh perspective on the dynamics of work and cooperation.
McKinney, with her distinctive LinkedIn bio that humorously professes her need for neither caffeine nor formality, presents a unique take on the subject. She delves into the concept of the "Kumbaya effect," exploring how collaboration is not about singing around a campfire but about reimagining how we work together. McKinney's insights challenge the traditional notion that competition drives progress, arguing that in the future, collaboration will be the key to success.
One of the standout features of the book is the way McKinney distinguishes collaboration from networking. She dissects these two concepts, making it clear that collaboration involves a deeper, more meaningful connection that goes beyond the exchange of business cards and LinkedIn connections.
In the latter part of the book, McKinney introduces her "casting anchors for collaboration." These are practical guidelines that help readers cultivate a collaborative mindset. They include intriguing concepts like "Itchy backs" and "Be the Zebra" (emphasizing individuality within a collective effort). McKinney's approach to collaboration is not just about improving teamwork; it's about transforming how we think and work together in an interconnected world.
"Collaboration is the New Competition" is more than just a book; it's an exploration of the evolving nature of work, one that encourages readers to embrace collaboration and adapt to a changing landscape. McKinney's conversational style and real-world examples make her concepts accessible to both seasoned professionals and newcomers to the business world.
Overall, Priscilla McKinney's book offers an insightful and entertaining perspective on the future of work and the importance of collaboration in this new era. It challenges conventional wisdom and provides valuable takeaways for those looking to stay ahead in an increasingly interconnected world. So, don't let the title fool you – this book is not about competition but about the exciting opportunities that collaboration brings to the table.
