When collaborators disagree about how to pass on the work you created together

My research partner and I have been developing a methodology together for eight years and now we're at the point where other people want to learn it from us, but we completely disagree about how to teach it — she wants to systematize everything and I think that kills the intuitive part. Our students are starting to notice the tension.

What we've seen

Creating something together is different from teaching it together, and competing visions of legacy can fracture even the strongest partnerships.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Teaching and mentorship as legacy?”

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
