Persuade Coworkers

Describe for me a situation where you persuaded team members to do things your way. What was the effect?


From technical / quality management aspect, In the second year when I joined in AECL as the Chemist, I introduced an interfacing program with balance to my supervisor. After purchasing, a technologist was reluctant to try it.

I configured the setting, I demonstrated it showing the benefits, I trained them,
I created an Excel template. I was not successful in persuading one technologist.

Excuse: not many weighting tasks.

workflow: a PC connect to a balance. data in PC -> USB -> technologist PC.

It was until the situation became stressful, they had multiple tasks. Feedback of coworkers on this balance interfacing proved the benefit. Coworker’s influence worked. IT also supported us.
