You’re working with a difficult partner. How can you address power imbalances and get the results you need?
Try to find areas of shared context and understanding. From there, build trust and communicate, communicate, and communicate. Always remember that effective communication includes a lot of active listening.
-
How can you identify areas for improvement in your performance?
Retrospectives, pre and post-mortem reviews. I always found it useful to try and reflect on what one did well and areas of improvement. In my career, I did this via self-reflection, 360 feedback, and formal post-mortem reviews (yes, I know this is a bad name). More recently, I have also applied premortem techniques in which you look ahead, try to anticipate points of failure, and devise mitigation strategies.
