Projects might be complex or simple, but the real catch is finding ways to collaborate with the different personalities involved. Sometimes these challenges come in the form of an un-managed client, coworker or peer. Either way, with too many cooks in the kitchen, unwanted stress, frustration and hostility can quickly turn even the simplest of tasks into the perfect storm. Find out how to best align client needs, talent pools, and peer input so that the project can be delivered smoothly from conception to completion.
