Engaging process orientation to communication while discussing leadership buy-in

Exemplar of Interview Probing to Engage Process Orientation to Communication
Participant 5B explained sites had to provide letters of support from leadership at “different levels”:
So we made sure that we incorporated all of that by first introducing ourselves, the explanation of what we were doing (…) they included the (…) managers to get their buy-in. They did that by having the collaborative advisory board meetings (…) because all those players were present (…) The local educators would report to leadership their numbers and the impact (…) so that they were updated. They knew what was being presented when, how, and then they were given the results.
Interviewer: So leadership buy-in was kind of–, it seems like there were many different things that went into getting that?
Participant: You’re right, because it isn’t just, as we’ve learned, it isn’t just ‘Here, this is what we’re doing.’ If you get their collaboration again, the networking, all of that just kind of feeds into bringing in leadership and staff buy-in (…) And the advisory board was key, I think (…) and keeping an open network, you know, communication.
