The techniques change for the environment, which is why I suggested getting buyin from the others. In a more ... authoritarian ... environment leaders can say “we’re doing it my way, or else”, but that has a limited shelf life. The key, in any environment, is holding people to their commitments, unless there are serious issues. The word I keyed on is “perfectionism” and her conclusion this relationship is a “waste of time”. I could edit my answer if that would make my thought processes clearer. | |

Like one of the comments on the question already indicates might be better placed at academia.stackexchange though. | |

Part of what it takes to be an actual leader is making decisions and sticking with them. She's either leading the project, or this problematic collaborator is. | |
