Take a step back and facilitate the group to define and agree on objectives. Have define criteria, if needed, to select options. Pushback is generally because the team has not agreed on overall objective.

I’ve learned that not every battle needs to be fought or won. In moments of pushback, sometimes it’s wiser to give ground. you might end up receiving more in return. It’s about understanding when to stand firm and when to compromise for the greater good of the project. True leadership is knowing which battles truly matter.

To navigate resistance from a key stakeholder in a critical project meeting, I would prioritize active listening to fully understand their concerns and take detailed notes on the key points they raise. Once I’ve grasped their perspective, I would thoughtfully present alternative viewpoints or solutions, focusing on the most critical aspects of their feedback. The way these points are communicated is just as important as their content—approaching the discussion with respect, tact, and politeness can often be more effective than simply having the strongest argument. Building alignment through collaborative dialogue fosters trust and increases the likelihood of finding common ground.
