Many leaders struggle to get their teams truly committed to projects, goals, or organizational change. They may have great ideas, well-planned strategies, and clear objectives, but without the buy-in of the people they lead, execution becomes slow, resistance builds, and results fall short. This lack of commitment often comes from leaders overlooking how to connect their vision to the personal motivations and needs of their team members.

From our experience, gaining buy-in starts with showing genuine passion for your vision, understanding your team’s challenges, and aligning your goals with what matters most to them. By tapping into the “What’s In It For Me” (WIIFM) perspective, framing goals in ways that connect to intrinsic motivators, and co-creating plans with your team instead of dictating them, you open the door to stronger engagement, deeper commitment, and better results.
