I recognize that new tools can be met with resistance, but I believe in addressing concerns openly. I’d start by understanding the team's hesitations and then demonstrate the value of the tool, focusing on how it aligns with our goals. To build confidence, I’d create a prototype or pilot project using the tool, showcasing its potential benefits in a controlled environment. This allows the team to see its value firsthand without fully committing. I’d also provide training and offer support throughout the adoption phase, implementing it gradually for non-critical tasks. Finally, I’d share examples of how other teams have benefited from the tool, further reinforcing its potential to improve our workflows

Resistência a novas ferramentas é comum, mas pode ser superada com diálogo e engajamento. Ouça as preocupações da equipe, destaque os benefícios práticos da mudança e ofereça treinamentos. Mostre como a nova ferramenta facilita o trabalho e incentiva a experimentação em um ambiente seguro. Liderança empática é a chave para a adesão.

When your team is hesitant about adopting new design tools, starting with a demo session is an effective way to overcome resistance. Show how these tools can streamline workflows, saving time and effort on repetitive tasks, and how they can improve outcomes by offering advanced features or greater precision. During the demo, highlight practical examples relevant to the team’s work, allowing them to see the benefits directly applied to their routines. Encourage questions and foster an open environment to discuss concerns. This hands-on and engaging approach helps reduce resistance and promotes gradual acceptance of the new tools.
