possible factors
People misunderstand:
the GTD overhead--which is significant at first, depending on your starting point.
Outcome statements in general and
--if you pressure them to make them too soon, pr concur with you before they have thought it through, they end up resentfu.l
-- at the same time, many people do see the point or fail to remember to revisit the statement of desired outcome.
Some people resent being directly held accountable even although they are ethical and responsible and do deliver--they just need a softer touch and cues that are supportive such as "how far along are you with....", "is there something you want me to take a look at at this point", "we are approaching the 2/28 deadline, do you still think that is realistic".
An incompletely implemented "system" while it may be elevating your productivity can look foolish and neurotic to a person who does not understand what you are doing and that there are stages of change.
Most people are conservative about their tools and methods.
People that change tools and methods readily are often a subtype that is interested in tools and methods to begin with, in an environment in which there are other people whom they admire in various stages, have a coach or are in a crisis or responded to excellent marketing.
People who have been through a cycle of productivity trainings with high hopes followed by disappointments in themselves or the system become allergic to yet another proselytizer.
Maybe someone thinks you are stealing company secrets and/or going to leave and start a competing business.
Some people are not aware of their toxic jealousy and therefore cannot convert it to admiration and respect.
Sometimes people get a negative reaction from a higher up or a colleague for reasons that have little to do with the ostensible and outwardly discussed reason. A relative of mine was forced to go out on permanent physical disability (for a legitate problem that could have been worked around with reduced hours)and all her friends rallied around her as if she was the victim but I think the real reason is she not a collaborator, she responds to people at a concrete level, gabbles and speaks so quickly that people don't understand her, and she is crushed by any feedback, does not initiate to help others unless they are in a crisis, doesn't give people a heads up or reminders about her schedule and is rude about asserting her needs, and never, ever apologizes. I am not suggesting that you are at all like this, but it pays to look at how you might be perceived or misperceived. Although it is a tough economy worldwide, if in addition to your regular job skills you are an ace at self-management and productivity maybe you need a job where that is valued. Maybe a little moon lighting or a second job might help you slide into an environment in which you are able to use your talents and get respect for it.
