DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NGOS POLISH TRAINING WORKSHOP
BUILD ON YOUR POINTS OF AGREEMENT Remember: you agree more than you disagree You agree with each other more than with outside You live in a bubble You see the differences more than the similarities
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES Is it strategic? Difference between organisations’ goals? Is it tactical? What will work best Is it personal?
STRATEGIC DIFFERENCES Identify the difference: organisational goals? organisation procedure? organisational mind-set? problems of delegation/mandate Respect difference
TACTICAL DIFFERENCE What are you trying to achieve? Outcome matters How will the disagreement affect outcome? Isolate the disagreement and analyse it
PERSONAL DISAGREEMENT Step back Analyse the arguments Be respectful
REMEMBER Listen to everybody – nobody has a monopoly on good or bad ideas Don’t play politics with block votes Compromise can lead to better conclusions Win hearts and minds
CONCLUSION Together you are stronger
