The key to it all is the relationship we have with them before issues come up. That way we have something to draw upon when problems arise...and hopefully...something that can help maintain the relationship once the issue is resolved.Jay Kuhns, SPHRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813031657500594380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068729084407027179.post-71496028612079857512011-06-09T10:44:07.564-04:002011-06-09T10:44:07.564-04:00With 25 years in the profession I have seen this s...With 25 years in the profession I have seen this several times. It's great to be the Hero and help solve the problems of the world. We all love that. But when the "client" is not receptive it makes it harder. Since you can only push so much, what can you do. A couple of things, never give up. Put all your persuasive talents on and try to get them to see the light. Always be willing to look at your solution and see if their reason for not doing it may make since....we're not always right even though we think we may be. Try to influence others that may be affected by the situation...you may have more success with more people promoting the solution. And finally, if it is a critical situation that the company leadership needs changed, you may have to go over the colleagues head, explain your solution and what you have tired to do to and get the power from the top. Sometimes our influencing powers just doesn't work but if it is critical to the organization, then we must have the courage to sacrifice the colleague's feelings to do what is right. And if your solution was right, the colleague will probably forgive you for going over his head because you have helped solved the problem.Ed Woodhttp://twitter.com/#!/cewood08noreply@blogger.com
