YES, BUT â¦
Some of my teachers just seem impossible to figure out. What if I can't identify the root reason for a teacher's resistance?
It is easy to diagnose the primary will driver when people seek help and advice or directly resist change, but often people can seem to support change and then passively resist moving forward. These "passive resisters" make it very difficult to determine the underlying reason for their low will.
Many leaders confront passive resistance by confidently charging forward, assuming that they have the support and cooperation of the passive resisters, only to discover too late that not everyone was fully on board. Later, when the initiative fails, they think it was because there was some flaw in the initiative itself rather than understanding that the initiative was undermined by passive resistance.
To diagnose core will issues in the face of passive resistance, pay attention to the "logical" reasons people present for not making the change. If they are asking for more data, their primary will driver is probably purpose, and they are looking for a justification for making the change. If they argue that there isn't enough time, their primary will driver may be autonomy, and they are concerned that the change may further limit their ability to plan their own days. If they suggest that you build the capacity of the team first, their primary driver may be mastery, and they are worried that they won't be able to implement the change effectively. If they want to get buy-in from everyone first before moving forward, their will driver may be belonging. Rather than trying to overcome their logical reasons for resistance by offering logical arguments of your own, listen to their reasons and look for the underlying need those reasons imply.
