FROM THE ARCHIVE: Establishing and Building Mutual Respect with
Technical Team Members

As a technical writer, are you finding yourself wishing for just
a bit of respect from the engineers, SMEs (Subject Matter
Experts), or other technical people you work with? Are you
finding that these folks seem to stonewall you on every question
you have or every goal you're trying to achieve? Are they
obstreperous? Difficult? Or just plain unhelpful?

When I hear technical writers complaining about--er,
describing--such troubles when working in a team environment,
my first reaction is to want to sit and observe how they actually
interact with those seemingly impossible team members. In my
experience, I've found that the problem isn't always with a
surly SME or with an engineer who lacks communication skills.
Certainly, there are cases where other team members just don't
value any contribution other than their own; however, most
often, I have found the problem is with the technical writer's
approach to the team environment--and have found that the
problem began from the very start of that writer's involvement
with the team.
