When it comes to buy in, it is two fold. As an individual you have to be bought in to your career, hobbies, and life. The flip side of the coin is that you have to have buy in if you are going to lead a project yourself, whether that be a family, a company or a team. A team has to be bought in to be able to implement long lasting instrumental changes. This notion has been studied and analyzed time and time again. The question is how do we create it and better yet how do we maintain it.
How do you build something that people want to be a part of? That is the real question. Do you communicate the bigger vision, do you lead by example, do you identify purpose in the people around you? These are all valid questions and strategies that are worth being discussed. It is easy to buy in to something originally when things are fresh and easy, but as time goes on how do you keep the momentum up?
By identifying the why? You can begin to communicate and see a bigger vision and how each individual fits into that puzzle. Then you have to do the unsexy things to be able to lead by example. By doing the things nobody wants to you show others naturally the commitment you have to the cause. These easier said than done steps are just a couple ways buy in can be established, let us know what we missed because as always we are experts in almost nothing!
