Hay 2 causas por las que se podrían sentir ignorados: 1. Falta de comunicación 2. Sufre de controlitis aguda. El primero es muy fácil de solucionar, creando reuniones de hitos de revisión de los proyectos para declarar avances y toma de decisiones importantes. El segundo debe de manejarse con cautela, pues no se trata de estar informado o no, de ser tomado en cuenta o no, se trata de lastimar egos.

1. Engage Them Early: For future projects, involve stakeholders from the beginning. When stakeholders contribute to initial discussions, they’re more likely to support and trust decisions even if they don’t fully agree. 2. Provide Compromise Solutions: Where feasible, incorporate their feedback into the current or upcoming stages of the project. Small adjustments can show that their views are respected. 3. Follow Up and Maintain Communication: Ensure that you follow up regularly with stakeholders to keep them informed about progress and seek further input if needed. This reinforces their importance in the project’s success.

Often, big plans are formulated behind closed doors and then communicated broadly across the organization, leaving stakeholders feeling excludedaddress and prevent such resistance effectively, I recommend the following approach: 1) Keep your departmental leadership on board. 2) Provide them the opportunity to voice their opinions. 3) Facilitate domain-specific input. Adopt a collaborative tone. After setting the meeting tone, step back as a leader and let the ideas flow from the team. This fosters innovation and a sense of contribution among stakeholders. Decisions made through collaboration not only address resistance but also instill a sense of ownership and commitment among team members.
