Why Might People Not Cooperate With Your Team Work or Team Goal?

People may be uncooperative or resistant for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons might seem understandable to you, while others may strike you as unsupportive or even petty.

We recommend that you refrain from making value judgments about the reasons. Instead you should try and discern the possible underlying causes for resistance and deal with it as best you can.
