"At my last job, I was on a great team; however, many of its members were very used to doing things a certain way. When I came in and started managing the team, I really wanted to try out some new tools and techniques. Several team members weren't open to the change. I handled this by meeting with each of them individually so we could spend time listening to each other's viewpoints. I came to understand that they had an existing structure in place that was providing positive results. I was also able to show them that there were benefits to trying out new ideas. We ended up compromising and agreed to gradually trial some of these new methods, while continuing to keep some of the existing processes in place."
