List skills required – What stills are required to get these tasks done?
Consideration #2: What working-style fits YOU best?
Why doesn’t he just? – In a moment of frustration, stop and examine what action your colleague is or isn’t doing that is triggering. That may tell you about your communication or learning style. Example in slides.
