Reducing Resistance & Gaining Buy-In With the One H & Five W Model!
by Dr. Jeffrey Magee
Prior to posting your next announcement, send mail or e-mail, leave a voice mail message or communicate directly with another person about your next policy change, new product or simply modify an initiative, consider what the other party could be thinking under their breath.
Leaders who effectively administer change and create environments conducive to change advocates can defer to a simple "check list". This list can be checked mentally, when preparing change issues for presentation, and physically, as a facilitating template for change.
Make sure to adequately address each personality involved the subsequent factors:
Who. These agents call into action the four foundation decision-makers (financial, technical, user, advocate) and authority figures.
What. These agents call into action the foundation immediate, medium and long-term goals, objectives and needs.
When. These agents call into action the ending deadline and any interval deadlines or commitments.
Where. These agents deal with the geography, locale and environmental concerns.
Why. These agents deal with the reasoning, logic and significance of the "WHAT Factor".
How. These agents deal with the procedures, legalities, ethics, costs and methods where something could be done or not done.
Any item not addressed may become the impetus behind others' lack of attention, interest and commitment (BUY-IN) and the stimulus to passive-aggressive behaviors. It is these behaviors that may cause the implosion of an otherwise easily implemented change initiative!
Each of the Five W and One H factors serve as a reference point for a series of ensuing questions and checkpoints that can be drawn out of each. Your capability to hold yourself accountable for ensuring that each is referenced thoroughly in the planning stage will noticeably impact the level of excellence that comes out of the implementation stage!
I am reminded of a recent speaking experience I had at a Fortune 500 Leadership Institute. The theater was full with engineers and mid-level managerial-leaders from around the World. While the audience feedback was explosive, I am sure I will not be invited back. I addressed why "their firm" is getting eaten in the marketplace - a theme with which the senior leaders were not impressed!
While there are presently tens of billions of dollars cashed and in the bank in escrow, with a competing firm, for orders for a similar, sleeker, more cost effective commercial type of what they produce (which "they" do not produce) and tens of billions of dollars cashed and in the bank in escrow, with the competing company, for private consumer versions (which "they" do not produce), this company refuses to change. Even though it is reported that it will take the competing company years to produce and fulfill these orders, this client continues in its primary division - attempting to make and sell a product the market no longer can justify.
The market has CHANGED, and the power players don't want to run the Five W and One H model, as they will learn they must evolve to remain viable. The student of market analysis and the managerial-leader will be able to watch another major firm implode if it does not embrace change.
Success in handling change, and even forming the level of success
individuals may have, can be exemplified directly from an explosive statement from
ice hockey champion, Wayne Gretsky.
"I don't skate to where the puck is, I skate to where the puck is going to be!"
