From agreement to buy-in
Name the layer you have: an explicit yes, accepted reasoning, a group decision, or coordinated action.
The four-layer picture
Say yes → accept the reason → decide together → act in alignment. 腹落ちする means the reason has become internally convincing enough to support one’s own action.
| Package | Focus |
|---|---|
| 方針に同意する | Explicitly agree to the proposal. |
| 理由を聞いて納得する | Understand and accept the reasoning. |
| 目的まで腹落ちしている | Find the purpose internally convincing and personally real. |
| チーム全体の合意を得る | Reach a shared group decision. |
| 実行段階で足並みをそろえる | Align thinking and action during execution. |
A useful meeting move
合意は得られましたが、まだ腹落ちしていない人もいそうなので、懸念を聞いてから進めます。
No objection is not proof of buy-in. Ask what still feels unresolved, align the team’s understanding, and revise the proposal if necessary.
