Teamwork doesn't always come naturally - in fact, it's usually a struggle, even with the best and brightest crews. Before stumbles turn into stalemates, crack out The School of Life's Collaboration Card Set and find a way to work together.

Each of the 52 cards offers a strategy inspired by art, or psychology, or music, or any number of other surprising sources, to help you and your team reset your thinking. Try assigning roles based on Edward De Bono's Six Thinking Hats and looking at the task from those perspectives, or drafting a Dream Team to tackle the project and imagine what each would bring to the mix. The prompts found in this card set take you on a journey around the blockage, not through it; helping you to make a breakthrough with subtlety rather than brute force. It's a deft approach to an all-too-common problem, and one that we could all use now and then.
