You’re trying to implement change… but you’re getting quite a bit of resistance. Of course you are, that’s to be expected. You do what seems natural… you immediately raise the issue within the team and now it’s “all hands on deck” to analyze the situation and solve the problem. Workshops ensue (“we need to brainstorm on how to complete the analysis and eliminate the resistance”… “maybe we should interview the resistors.”). Hold it right there!
Rather than focus on the problems and the resistors… try looking for the bright spots, the successes, the supporters… the good stuff. Gain insight and understanding about why your seeing success. Then, try and duplicate that… again and again and again. Props to Chip and Dan Heath, authors of Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard.
