Your team is resisting a shift in project prioritization. How can you get everyone on board?

Vou compartilhar minha experiência liderando projetos de treinamentos corporativos, começando por comunicar os motivos e benefícios, conectando-os aos objetivos da solicitação do cliente. Ouço as preocupações da equipe com calma e empatia, destacando as oportunidades de crescimento que a mudança trará. Envolvo-os nas decisões para tornar o processo colaborativo e participativo, ajudando-os a visualizar o sucesso do projeto como "uma luz no fim do túnel". Para facilitar a transição, ofereço suporte e mantenho uma atitude positiva em relação à mudança. Em resumo, não há fórmula mágica, mas minha experiência pode servir de inspiração.

I've found that an inclusive approach is essential. At Vectors, we run 'Change Workshops' where team members can participate in the planning of shifts in project prioritization. This not only reinforces the 'why' behind the change, as you mentioned, but it also gives them a sense of ownership over the new direction.

As a business coach, I help you navigate resistance to project prioritization shifts by first addressing the team's concerns and understanding the root of their hesitation. I work with you to communicate the rationale behind the changes clearly, linking the new priorities to overall team goals and benefits. Through transparent discussions, I foster a sense of ownership by involving team members in the decision-making process. I also help create a step-by-step transition plan that makes the shift feel more manageable, ensuring everyone understands their role in the new direction and is motivated to move forward together.

In my experience, immediately call for a meeting to regroup and remind the Team of your purpose and goals. Resetting the tone may likely ensure that everyone gets back in the swing of things to prioritize. Be sure to articulate the purpose and the role each person plays for the best interest of the project and themselves for long term growth. The above builds accountability and trust for open communication.
