How do you get buy in?
Posted on May 31, 2009 by Caldwell
We are in a school district that is going through growing pains. We have a forward-thinking superintendant ready to bring our schools into the 21st century. The problem is that we have many rural communities and seasoned teachers who do not see a need for change. To sum up a quote from a community member in a local newspaper article… these schools have been teaching agriculture classes the same for years and it has been good, why should we change it now?
“That good is the enemy of great is not just a business problem. It is a human problem.”

How do you get the buy-in necessary to achieve greatness? How do you get the right people on the bus and more importantly the wrong people off?
Frustrating but necessary questions
