I’d type out an answer but I just saw Sandi Metz’ amazing talk on influence in the context of software teams. Highly recommended. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VzWLGMtXflg As for the rest, I’d take a step back and check if it is possible that the “old, unmotivated, change-resisting” could be possibly judgments (hint: they are) and what did they result from. Example: I requested that we make changes X, Y and Z, and Peter refused on the premise that ... (to replace “change-resistant”) Also, Peter is 45. (To replace “Old”) Working with judgments is difficult because they close the possibility for dialogue. Working with observations opens possibilities for inquiry. Also, even programmers can feel when they’re being judged, so there’s that. |
