“That’s something we can very easily do.”
Perhaps it’s true, but the point is not whether something is easy or not. The point is what’s happening that’s keeping people from doing it.
Is it a lack of clarity on what matters?
Is it that you are overreaching and micromanaging?
Is it a lack of competence or confidence?
Is it poor resources?
Is it overwhelming expectations?
People are not inherently lazy or irresponsible, so if something easy is not getting done, ask yourself what you can correct in your own doing, before starting to look outside and push the target farther away.
