* How (and why) to let people fail
|
|
Warning: This, like most things, will involve a fair bit of projection.

I have some thoughts about collaboration.
|
|
|
|
While a lot of this is obvious and well accepted, I think there are some fine points worth elaborating on.
|
|
|
|
The obvious part is that people work better together when they believe they are trusted. Trust breeds initiative and independence. Distrust breeds resentment and inaction.
|
|
|
|
Consider the flip side of trust, for a moment.
|
|
|
|
A common way that people show _distrust_ when collaborating is either micromanaging or just coming in behind someone and redoing their work.
|
|
|
|
If that demonstrates distrust then
|
|
|
|
It's not enough that you simply _do_ trust someone else to get the benefits, you need to show it. I think this is the part that many people skip or ignore.

This is, of course, true in general.
