QuestionHow do I handle a non-cooperative colleague?Community AnswerAsk them how they are feeling and if there is anything you are able to help them with. Try to calm them down by speaking to them calmly but firmly, to show that you mean business but you're being nice about it. If they continue to be uncooperative, make the consequences of their non-involvement clear, like "you're letting down the team", "you will get a black mark on you record", or "you won't be part of the bonus/office outing/getting your name recorded as having participated, etc."
