Don't be defensive or try to protect your own turf. Each of you will probably have to give up a little turf in exchange for the benefits of collaboration. Respect the procedures and conventions of the other participants.
Mutual trust is a necessity if collaboration is to happen. . . .
You don't have to agree with each other, but you do have to be motivated, dedicated, and committed to each other, the process, and your common vision or mission. Be willing to act on your beliefs. Words only go so far in getting anywhere with collaborative work. . . . Stumbling blocks can be overcome. All rights reserved.
