Scenario: Your company has developed a new initiative or product, or it is introducing a change to technology or personnel that will affect your team and its daily working environment. You are tasked with gathering buy-in from your team, as well as learning if they have any objections to this initiative.
You call a meeting with your team:
Briefly describe the new initiative and why it is important (e.g., a reorganization, a new product, a new technology, etc.)
Draft three questions for your team designed to gain buy-in and support for this new initiative
Next, share your communication strategy with us:
How will you know if your questioning was effective?
Your team needs to know they have a voice – during this meeting, how did you let them know you are listening to them and that their opinion matters?
