One option, motivate from behind; Herzberg called it KITA management. “Create” some enthusiasm, make it no-option. Win in the short term, maybe. Lose in the long, probably.
Better option, diagnostics as a team activity. Together, deconstruct what’s happening; this is what I see … what do you see … how shall we fix it?
Suck it up, change the goal or change the process – this time with buy in.
