two collaborators,
00:00:04
Alice and Bob,
00:00:06
were responsible for an ambitious project.
00:00:09
Although they worked thousands of miles apart,
00:00:12
technology was supposed to be their ally.
00:00:14
One Monday,
00:00:15
Alice sent an email to Bob.
00:00:17
I was thinking of using Trello to track our progress.
00:00:20
Is that OK with you?
00:00:22
Bob,
00:00:22
an avid Asana user,
00:00:24
replied,
00:00:25
Not a fan of Trello.
00:00:26
Let's use Asana,
00:00:27
much more professional.
00:00:29
Alice,
00:00:30
surprised by the direct response,
00:00:31
wrote,
00:00:32
I have already set everything up on Trello.
00:00:35
She clicked send,
00:00:36
letting a hint of irritation show.
00:00:39
She was convinced that Trello was the best tool and refused to budge.
00:00:43
The next day,
00:00:44
during a video conference,
00:00:45
Bob said,
00:00:46
Alice,
00:00:46
you could also improve your connection.
00:00:48
It's the 3rd time it's cut off.
00:00:50
Bob was convinced that the poor connection
00:00:52
was due to Alice's lack of professionalism.
00:00:55
Alice,
00:00:56
already annoyed by the previous day's disagreement,
00:00:58
replied sharply,
00:01:00
Maybe if you had accepted Trello,
00:01:02
we wouldn't have to do so many video calls.
00:01:05
In the following days,
00:01:06
each email,
00:01:07
each message escalated the conflict a notch.
00:01:10
Instead of discussing the project,
00:01:12
they got bogged down in sarcastic comments.
00:01:15
Alice sent a chart saying,
00:01:17
At least some of us are making progress,
00:01:19
while Bob retorted,
00:01:21
if only they were moving in the right direction.
00:01:24
Their dispute was no longer really about Trello or
00:01:26
Asana nor about the quality of the internet connection,
00:01:30
which were the true sources of disagreement and
00:01:33
could have been easily discussed and resolved.
00:01:36
It was now about judgments,
00:01:37
emotions,
00:01:38
poor communication,
00:01:40
and the difficulty of working remotely without building a trusting relationship.
00:01:45
A month later,
00:01:45
their manager noticed the project's delay.
00:01:48
When he tried to organize a meeting,
00:01:50
neither Alice nor Bob wanted to participate if the other was present.
00:01:54
The initial insignificant conflict had turned
00:01:57
into a professional feud highlighting the importance
00:02:00
of good and quick management of disagreements in the world of remote work.
