At the start:
"Wow! That's correct. Y will be so much better than X. You know, I've been doing X for years. This Y approach will make a huge difference."
A week later:
"What are you doing?"
"X."
"I thought you were going to do Y."
"Oh, yeah. You're right. Sorry for the slip-up. I'll get on Y right now."
Two weeks later:
"You're still doing X, aren't you?"
"You got me. But you see, I really know how X operates and although Y will produce much better results, it just doesn't seem to fit. I really see myself as sort of an X person."
"So in order to be comfortable, you'll stick with an approach that is inferior and perhaps even risk doing damage to your career?
"I'm hoping that doesn't take place. Do you have something like a nicotine patch for people who want to quit bad management practices?"
