It's often hard to accept the adjustment period others need to consider and embrace change once we have carefully developed a plan, after weighing alternatives. Or when we want to introduce a program we've successfully used in another environment, but we're met with "that's not the way we do things here" - it's discouraging.
Trying to introduce change has reinforced:
- Patience is a (sometimes painfully acquired) virtue.
- Just because it's clear to me, it may take require many "show and tell" opportunities for others to agree.
- Small victories deserve celebration.
- I can lead the way, but I can't make others do anything they don't choose or accept. I can just keep leading.
- Though I trust until shown that a party is not trustworthy, others distrust until trustworthiness is proven.
