Change is tough, especially in the construction trades. Whether it’s introducing a new accounting system, software for tracking projects, or tools on the shop floor, resistance from your team can stall even the best-laid plans.
In the latest Cabinet Maker Profit System podcast, Dominic Rubino talks with Cole Eklund from INNERGY about actionable strategies to navigate resistance and successfully implement change in your business.
Cole explains that resistance from even one employee can derail an entire initiative. Team buy-in creates momentum and sets the tone for successful implementation.
One of Cole’s top strategies is forming a coalition of employees who are invested in the change. “Involve team members from different departments, let them voice their concerns, and make them part of the solution,” says Cole.
“Short-term wins build motivation and momentum,” Cole notes. By tackling smaller challenges and celebrating success, you keep the team engaged and aligned with your goals.
Dominic and Cole stress the importance of focusing on one major initiative at a time. Trying to do too much can overwhelm your team and lead to burnout.
Whether you’re rolling out new software, equipment, or processes, team buy-in is critical. Follow the tips from this episode to create a clear plan, involve your team, and celebrate wins along the way.
