Collaborating with Non-Collaborators
How can we deal with non-collaborators? We aren’t going to get the chance to change them, but we might be able to work with them – or, work around them. How do we know? This webinar looks at how to identify a non-collaborator, who can be a leader, a team member, a team or a process.
We then look at the system in which a non-collaborator works: their success factors; what motivates them; how they are measures, recognized and rewarded; their fears, hot buttons and hidden agendas. Next we assess similar concerns for ourselves an evaluate our risks in dealing with this non-collaborator, and finding out if we want to take that risk.
Using a trust and ownership model, we map traits of non-collaborators into this framework. Working with each section of the model, we look at tools and techniques to deal with each type of non-collaborator in the model. Finally, we discuss options if all else fails and you must work around your non-collaborator.
