Are you frustrated that your team isn't buying into new initiatives despite having all the facts and data to support your decisions? You're not alone.Β 

Most analytical leaders make the mistake of thinking more PowerPoint slides and detailed explanations will overcome resistance.

In this episode of Leading Beyond the Spreadsheet, leadership coach Kris Liebau reveals the real reasons teams drag their feet on change - and it's not what you think.

πŸ”‘ What You'll Learn:

  • The 2 communication channels every leader MUST use (most only use one)
  • Maher's 3-level resistance model that explains why logic alone fails
  • Why your 47-slide presentation is actually making resistance worse
  • How to identify if resistance is about understanding, emotions, or trust
  • Practical strategies to turn resistance into buy-in

⚑ Key Takeaway: Change resistance isn't about your data quality - it's about meeting people where they are emotionally and building the trust needed to move forward together.

Perfect for engineering managers, project leaders, and analytical professionals who need their teams to adapt quickly in dynamic environments.
