about winsor jenkins...
Winsor is an accomplished business partner who worked in senior level leadership positions in three publicly traded manufacturing companies.
With a passion in collaborative leadership, team development, and coaching, he contributed to the development of managers at all levels. He brings a deep understanding of what it takes to successfully transition through the leadership pipeline from front line manager to the C-Suite.
As a senior-level leader, he found himself trying to persuade people to set aside their focus on win-lose outcomes and instead work together to generate win-win outcomes. This experience sparked his interest in writing leadership articles focused on collaboration between 1998 - 2005. In 2007, he wrote his first book, The Collaborator which introduced people to a new innovative way to work together to achieve their goals. In 2014, he started his consulting, training, and coaching business with a focus on collaborative leadership. This led to co-developing The Collaboration Game in 2016. This training program helps people develop a collaborative mind-set and skill set in order to enact genuine team collaboration in the workplace. And, in 2018, he served as a contributing author writing the chapter on collaboration for the Association for Talent Development's (ATD) book, Focus On Them. This gets us to 2021 when he published his new book, Game of Teams, to help people discover how to become a collaborative leader.
