Have you ever encountered resistance in decision-making processes? How did you navigate through it?

Yes, I have encountered resistance in decision-making processes before. One instance was when I proposed a new project management tool for our team. Some team members were skeptical about the effectiveness and were resistant to change. To navigate through the resistance, I organized a series of meetings to address their concerns and provide demonstrations of the tool's benefits. I also gathered feedback from other teams who had successfully implemented the tool. By showcasing real-life examples and addressing their concerns directly, I was able to alleviate their resistance and gain buy-in for the new tool.

I acknowledged their expertise and presented real-time market data that supported the need for the new strategy. Additionally, I offered a compromise by suggesting a phased implementation plan that allowed them to gradually adapt to the changes. To further alleviate their resistance, I provided training sessions and resources to ensure they had the necessary skills to implement the new strategy successfully.
