Buy-in

If you want to enact a major change, it is very important to get buy-in and to do so as early as possible. In doing so, you need to give people the opportunity to voice concerns early before commitments are made. In addition you need to provide facts and reasoning to support the change, it should not be a rushed job.

Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804), economist, Founding Father and first Treasury Secretary of the United States, stated:
"Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike".
