Whether in business or personal relationships, what makes working together so difficult is the individual need to be right and to have things our way.  As long as we have a position to hold on to we cannot come together or work together.  If we are not willing to bend, we will somehow get in the way.  We must get clear about what we are doing, why we are doing it and who we are working with.  Only with an honest examination of our motives and intent can we surrender to any working or loving process.  If we enter any collective agreement for only personal goals and with mental garbage, the stability of the group is jeopardized by our dishonest foundation.  If we come together in honesty, work together in clarity, we can stay together with respect and meet any  goal successfully.
