The common belief is that following up on something you set out to change is essential. It is rarely enough to expect it to keep moving. There is inherent friction in the environment. What you believe in often does not resonate with others. It has the potential to stall the efforts of change you initiated.
The way to get around that is by effectively communicating the reasons the changes are needed and the impact of the change on the change-makers when it materializes. If there is a clear understanding of the benefits the energy level rises, and friction goes down.
Such is the power of getting the buy-in.
Buy-in results from transparent processes to weigh the upsides and downsides. Upfront articulation of risks and sacrifices required and clarity of the benefit if you succeed.
Nagging follow-ups are the way to push through the change you seek without developing buy-in. There is no way out!
