  • Every individual in the team have different potentials, so you just have to let the uncooperative individual to sort out his/or her problem with regards to a certain task but just ask if He needs help politely. If still uncooperative just respect his/her demeanor and continue the task, in the long run it is the Team effort will set the mark.

  • May be the communication/internet is the problem for the uncooperative colleagues.

  • Good day all, Nurudeen from Nigeria, I head a department and at top management, the team leader chooses who he wants to work with, because of tribal and religious sentiments, and this has impediment to my work, at times vital information slip off me. How do I react when l am denied vital information that is needed for my job to keep running smoothly?

  • On the topic before us on how to deal with uncooperative members is a very vital topic. Currently am working with a group of young men in a project and at the beginning it was a challenge to work as a team. I had a meeting with them and realized what will move us to work as a team is ensuring each member of the group is well appreciated and owns the project.In addition for team to work properly each member needs to be respected. It is also important to listen to the views of each member.

    one of the greatest challenge in team work or working with others is when some fellow workers can become very unbearable or uncooperative. Sometimes many employees will choose to walk away from the team, and prefer to go alone. I think i found some great resources that suggest how to manage such crisis in the organization. I have been on this now for the past 18 years in my organization, and i can tell you it works...

    uncooperative colleaque brings a down fall is as far as team meant. because if all workers are working with one objective such that their aim is to see the progress its easy to be successful. the first thing to be done is to call a person and ask him how he is working different to the team, who is working like that, what is the main intention for doing that. this will help to figure out other issues that has lead to uncooperative situation.. this will help the team leader to identify some ther weakness within the organisation that are affecting the operation. so appraisal form nned to be administered to the team to understand the cause of the challenges being used.

  • they can be dealt by bringing them to the appraisal committee under operations department if its the project the supervisor has the right to call the colleague and find out more f what is being done at the end more challenges will come up and will be easily sorted out. so to achieve this the self appraisals needs to intensified in an organisation

  • I think conflicts in a teamwork is inevitable. to deal with inbeaeable an uncooperative members, it takes the sense of understanding and skills to engage them in a constructive communication. as far as im concerned, communication has been playing a big role in conflict management. it is important to get an explanation why the members work in an uncooperative manners. having known the problems, the next step is to negotiate two-way negotiations what best solutions can be taken both from the uncooperative members and from the board. when negotiation can't be reached that final option can be taken, that is to replace the unccoperative members.

  • Hi, its very difficult and painful to have to deal with an uncooperative colleague especially if your own vision of the project is true and unselfish. I only have experience of this with volunteers. Most of my international volunteers are great but occasionally I get one or two that are uncooperative, critical and sometimes downright lazy. I assess the situation and try to see if there are activities that they like doing more than others and try to tweak their schedule so that they can feel more confident/comfortable etc with what they are doing. If this doesn't work, I talk to them directly to see if there is anything that they feel uncomfortable about that I am not seeing. To be honest, if they really are not on board and especially if they are interfering with other volunteers' good work, I ask them to leave. My project is looking after and rehabilitating wildlife to go back into the wild and if a person is not able to be unselfish and see the bigger picture and be prepared to do whatever it takes even with menial jobs (we all do them, even me the founder!), then it is detrimental to the team to have someone who is not pulling their weight. It is better they go somewhere else if they are not happy.

  • My experience with uncooperative colleague i would like to discuss about the possible causes an how I was able to over come it.

    CAUSES:

    • Role conflict among colleagues

    • Lack of capacity to handle task

    • Weak/ no staff appriasal and or performance contracts

    • Lack of resources to conduct task

    • poor or no dispute resolution system and demotivating

    • Poor communication and weak interpersonal relationship.

    The way forward is to have a robust human resources plan with a functional M&E system that is reponsive to the above CAUDES and align the them to the oganidational goals.

  • @Chiefdipoko how do you handle the situation if the uncooperative colleague is the HRM?

  • I think that they should be called to order through love and reminded of the organization believe in them to take ownership. If a colleague refuses to own the vision it become very stressful working with such person.

  • I think we should stay calm and should focus on our work to give our best though we should deal with patience & kindness to encourage an uncooperative member .

  • well, deal with uncooperative collegue is one of the frustrating problem. most of them are self-centered where they believe that they can do anything so it's oke for them to lazy and spoiled. so, to deal with them, as my experience, first, directly I talk to them that I need the one who can work together in a team, can bring the problem solving not bring the rpooblem to the team. if that way can solve,i just need to direct them to the next project. but, if it doesn't, they still haven't a progress, I'll ask them to leave. it's the way that I can do to approach the collegue like that, because the people who uncooperative need a sanrling to make them not belittle their work.

  • Greetings, I's Daryl, Pardon for I was inactive.. We do have lot to work with in our organization.

    By the way I think the daily schedules and daily activities are one of the things that we must deal with the people who are uncooperative. Because I'm one of them.

  • Hello every one, I'm new face in this forum and I learned a lot of lessons from your contribution given about this topic "how to deal or manage with uncooperative workers in an organization. While the topic is very important to discuss in the forum because a lot of us experienced such matter.
    But uncooperative workers are consider base on their purpose roles they have been played in the organization. Some of them might be consultants, professionals experts or even hire from a great organisations base on their performance had been played, that's why the company can hire them base on certain agreement and on your Organization's principles .
    I think you take this can solve the disadvantages of dealing with uncooperative workers in the your organization.

    I am Yusuf Yahi Adamu from Nigeria. I want to first of all apologize for my dormancy previously due to a fault developed by the gadget I used. Well, I think the best way to tackle such problem of uncooperative colleagues is by calling such individuals and ask them if there is any reason that is making them act that way. Hearing their side of the matter will enable you take the next step. Which is for you to encourage them and make them see reasons of their importance in the organization and lastly, assign them to carry out some tasks that are leadership related. That way, they will understand the efforts you are putting in to make things work and likewise the same is required and expected of them. Thank you all. My greetings to you all.

  • My view will be to seek to know what the uncooperative colleague point of view with respect to the project. There may be the need to empathise with him/her. This may help win his/her trust. If this strtagy works, i'm sure he/she would be willing to give their commitment to the project.

    As part of a whole.every ones imput is needed and neccessary for the growth of a team.what is most important is the role of your colleagues in the organisation.can it be ignored ?if not.then you need to find out the root cause for the lack of corporation ,is it deliberately to frustrate everyone's effort?,personal challenges brought to work?or at what point was there a disconnect with commitment to succeed with the initial vision.?all this being takle would pave the way for how the same colleague can have a clarity on the task at hand . And the gap bridged.

  • Hello everyone. I am Benedict from Lagos. Nigeria. One way to deal with an uncooperative colleague is to have a discussion with him/her and re-emphasize the importance of team work in a workplace.

  • Hello everyone, i am Abigail Jesse from Nigeria. another way to deal with uncooperative colleague, Honestly i most say it required a lot of patients, understanding and tolerance. Gradually having a peaceful conversation with the office goal in view as well as professional ethics.

  • That seems to be a great topic.

  • Dealing with an uncooperative colleague can be as tough as cracking a nut. First thing to do is analyze your behaviour. Ensure that you’ve been communicating adequately and empathetically. You may not be required to make a change, but try to objectively evaluate your role in any conflict that could have transpired between the two parties. Regardless of the situation, it's always best to keep away for a while.
