    understand the reasons why they are pushing back, and address the concerns. Sometimes changes are not accepted because it requires more work from all parties to adjust to the change, and in some cases change is inevitable..

    Desde la experiencia, creo que se puede iniciar escuchando las razones del rechazo, para desde allí comprender cómo incluir las preocupaciones y trabajarlas en las diferentes actividades del programa. Luego destacar el trabajo en equipo me parece fundamental para sacar adelante todos los procesos y contribuir desde las habilidades y fortalezas de todos, es decir que quienes puedan estar más familiarizados con la tecnología, uso y ventajas puedan compartir con los demás lo positivo de ello y que poco a poco todos puedan ser parte de los nuevos cambios.

    Para lograr que mi equipo se sume al nuevo plan, es clave escuchar sus inquietudes, ofrecerles una visión clara de los beneficios del cambio, involucrarlos en el proceso de adaptación y brindar el apoyo necesario para facilitar la transición, asegurando que se sientan parte del proceso y comprendan cómo el cambio impactará positivamente en sus tareas. Animo a mi equipo a aceptar el cambio comunicando de manera transparente los motivos y beneficios detrás de la transformación, involucrándolos en el proceso y proporcionando capacitación y recursos para facilitar la adaptación. Además, reconozco sus esfuerzos y celebramos los logros alcanzados durante la transición.

    Pushback on changes often happens because people don’t feel heard or don’t see how the new plan connects to what matters to them. Start by asking questions like, ‘What’s on your mind about this?’ or ‘What concerns do you have?’ Listening shows you care and helps uncover the real reason for the resistance. Then, connect the change to their goals or the team’s bigger vision. When people see how it benefits them or aligns with what they value, they’re more likely to get on board. And don’t forget—give them some ownership in the process. When it feels like their plan, not just yours, you’ll get a lot more buy-in.

    Para que tu equipo se sume a un nuevo plan, puedes comunicarte de forma clara, invitarlos a participar en la implementación del nuevo plan, brindarles capacitación, identificar y afrontar las barreras al cambio, y asegurarte de que vean el cambio como una oportunidad, además de brindarles apoyo constante. La imposición de cambios puede generar rechazo. Por eso, es importante que los líderes del cambio se aseguren de que los colaboradores se sientan apoyados y capacitados para tener éxito en el cambio.
