Collaborating With Naysayers Checklist

When attempting to persuade others to understand the benefits and what’s in it for them with your idea, you will encounter individuals who will push back. Use this checklist to consider reasons the naysayers don’t like your idea and how you can potentially overcome that negativity. Use the blank lines at the end of the checklist to document your notes and thoughts. This tool was adapted from the ATD TD at Work Guide - Persuade Effectively and Grow Your Influence.
