When recruiting team members, you can help even the busiest or most reluctant prospects find their project within yours. In Part III of our Developing Project Community series, the author explains his journey from half-hearted beggar to fully engaged listener, and how a brief, open conversation can win deeper involvement from participants.
Part I of this series, “The Good, Er, Old Days,” recounted how projects were mustered before the practice of “project community” began taking root. Part II, “Someone Else’s Goals,” considered the importance of enlightened self-interest.In this third installment, I describe how helping others find their project within their project assignment creates community.
How you recruit for your project determines whether a community ever emerges around the effort. Do you indenture? Make sales calls? Post assignments passed down from the latest “resource allocation” horse-trading session? If your project needs a community supporting it it does), you’ll probably have to unlearn some of what you were taught about mustering teams.
