Just because you haven’t done it before doesn’t mean it’s complicated or impossible!
Have you ever experienced this:
Presenting a fantastic idea or a new way of doing something, which you know will work, receives a cold response like
“It sounds too complicated”
or
“it may be difficult”
or
“let’s do the way it is”
I’m sure this keeps happening day in day out, specially at workplace.
Where do you think these reactions come from?
👉 Feeling secure with the fixed work pattern
👉 Not willing to take risk or trying out something new
👉 Unwillingness to change and operating from comfort
This is what is called as the “Fixed Mindset”.
Most ideas die out just because someone feels it’s too complicated or they like the old way of doing things.
If you are a leader or a manager, hear out your team members.
Encourage them, let them give their ideas shape with a full fledged plan with a 360 degree view and then take a call.
Be open to ideas, be open to trying out new things,adopt the growth mindset!
Have you faced this resistance before? How did you tackle it?
