You are presenting the project plan during the first team meeting for a project you are leading, and an employee who is very new to your organization proposes a change. You are concerned that the change may not work because of your organization's structure.
1. Explain that although the idea is good, it will not work because of the way the organization is structured.
2. Ask the new team member to expand upon the idea, and request that the team discuss its merits.
3. Explain your concerns with the idea, and ask the team for suggestions on how to modify the idea to work within your organization's structure.
4. Evaluate how the other team members respond to the proposed change before giving your opinion.
5. Tell the new team member that the project plan is final and that you do not want to update it at this point.
