Resistance to new procedures often stems from uncertainty and fear of disruption. To ease the transition, communicate the why behind the change, linking it to team goals and benefits. Break down the process into clear, manageable steps and provide hands-on training to build confidence. Foster a culture of open dialogue, invite feedback, address concerns, and empower team members to co-create solutions. Acknowledge quick wins to boost morale and reinforce progress. Change isn’t just about new methods, it’s about guiding people through transformation with clarity, support, and trust.

1. Reconheça a sobrecarga Comece validando o sentimento da equipe: “Eu entendo que estamos todos com muitas demandas, e isso pode tornar qualquer mudança mais difícil.” Esse reconhecimento constrói confiança. 2. Explique o “porquê” da mudança Muitas resistências vêm da falta de compreensão do propósito. Mostre como o novo procedimento pode facilitar o trabalho, reduzir erros ou melhorar resultados. Se possível, traga dados ou exemplos concretos. 3. Envolva a equipe na construção Dê espaço para sugestões, feedbacks e adaptações. Quando as pessoas participam da criação ou implementação de algo novo, tendem a aceitar com mais facilidade.

We can also give our team a safe space to experiment with the new method, allowing trial and feedback before full implementation. This removes fear and builds confidence.

Le changement est une rivière capricieuse : il ne s'impose pas par la force, mais se fraie un chemin en douceur, polissant les pierres de la résistance avec la patience du courant. Une équipe réticente n’est pas une forteresse imprenable, mais une terre en friche qui redoute l’inconnu. Il faut d’abord en assouplir le sol, y semer des repères rassurants, avant d’y voir éclore de nouvelles habitudes. Chaque explication est une goutte d’eau qui imprègne lentement la roche, chaque démonstration une lueur dissipant l’ombre du doute.
