Which support method would be ineffective for someone in Q3?

In the context of change management, identifying the appropriate support method for individuals in different quadrants or stages of engagement is essential. When someone is categorized within Q3, they often exhibit resistance or lack of motivation regarding the change. In this scenario, motivating such individuals may not be effective.

The reason for this is that motivation typically requires a willingness or openness to change in the first place. If an individual is resistant, simply trying to motivate them may fall flat, as they may not be ready to engage with motivational strategies. Instead, individuals in Q3 may need more direct support or guidance tailored to addressing their specific concerns and barriers to change, rather than abstract motivational encouragement.

Other support methods, such as direct assistance, advising, or delegating tasks, could effectively address their immediate needs and empower them through additional resources and direction tailored to their situation.
