Individual Respect and Responsibilities

In collaborations, each member makes an important contribution and shares ownership of the project. In a successful collaboration, all contributors and their roles are respected and trusted.

 

  • Engage each individual’s and agency’s strengths in the collaborative process.
  • Respect each member’s areas of expertise and skill.
  • Define individual roles in order to ensure positive, transparent, and effective interaction. 
  • Do not interfere with a member’s role unless it is harming the collaboration or assistance is requested.
