A collaboration framework from stories of a friend collector.
Gregg Potter, You Fool! highlights everyday events (unintentional collaborations) to examine how we intentionally collaborate with other independent organizations and actors. Assembling a team, delegating roles, creating agreements, hosting meetings, and ending the collaboration are all significant parts of a successful group effort. A component Potter repeats in the book is the need for a facilitator. With the framework in this book, individuals and organizations can examine opportunities to create more impactful collaborations in their lives.

Gregg Potter, You Fool! is a look at how we can collaborate more effectively to create more impactful outcomes. Currently, when someone is looking to build their collaboration skills, they page through sites and books where a talking head is spouting off skills a person should develop or reasons why collaboration is important. Collaboration contains multiple sets of behaviors, egos, and patterns that must be maneuvered while accomplishing a common goal. It is very important to practice collaboration skills on a personal level however, creating spaces to actually practice real life situations are difficult to come by. Resources describing collaborative circumstances to use skills or identify the importance of working together seem to miss the mark because examples are often perfect outcomes. That is not how actual collaboration in the real world works. There are disputes, missed expectations, and fouls created. These difficulties often leave the community being served responsible to clean it up.
With Gregg Potter, You Fool!, we look at collaboration from the germination point to evaluation. The process starts within us and how we show up in the world. Each step is outlined with tools to successfully accomplish them while also supporting each reader's personal journey. The examples used are real life, relatable and entertaining stories that help readers fully understand what is being taught. Lessons also weave in informal collaborations that is universal (i.e. the grocery store checkout line). Most collaboration guides look at this work as one entire chunk. There are many small pieces in a collaboration where details can easily get overlooked. Just deciding to collaborate or not can make or break an idea. Assembling a team, delegating roles, creating agreements, hosting meetings, and ending the collaboration are all significant parts of a successful group effort. A component Potter repeats in the book is the need for a facilitator. A good unbiased facilitator will help the pieces move fluidly. This book is an entertaining resource guide to assist anyone managing a collaboration to successfully get from beginning to end while leaving the project ready for a new team to begin if necessary.
Gregg Potter has been fortunate to have lived many lives, worked with a diverse group of humans, and is not bashful to share stories. His collaborative journey started early as a teenage manager in a hotel and has participated in projects in many corners of the world. He worked with different Starbucks stores in Los Angeles to create impactful community projects. In Little Rock, AR, while in graduate school, Potter put people and resources to work and successfully executed a supplies drive for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. In Johannesburg, South Africa, after going back and forth with the police, he mobilized homeless men to get repairs done to public baths. Gregg’s experience is one reason why this is a great book to learn from. A larger reason is that he is a connector, facilitator, and storyteller. The book combines all Gregg's passions into one package that will open the reader up to more successful collaborations.
The target audience is primarily professionals from 25-60 who work in nonprofit leadership, community engagement, and city planning / politics. These are primarily women who are tired of reading dry resource books. They may even be seeking a gay best friend.
