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
