Open Source follows the principle of jointly working on a project living in the public space. While collaboration will be valued by everybody, it will not always be easy to achieve collaboration.
Collaboration
Focus around: What are we trying to achieve?
Mental attitudes:
- Respect for colleagues contributions
- Openness to experimenting with other; ideas
- Sensitivity to how one's actions may affect both colleagues' work and the missions' outcome
Trust and an outward focus in any project are essential. We all have the tendency to fixate on ourselves—what we'd like to say and achieve—instead of what we can learn from others. There is a time to listen and explore others' ideas and a time to critique ideas and select the ones to pursue. Mixing these things up will undermine collaboration.
- Listen not talk
- Practice empathy
- Be comfortable with feedback
- Lead and follow
- Speak clearly
- Go for Win-win-win
