In one of my early roles as a security manager, I faced a team that saw security protocols as "extra work." Instead of enforcing rules, I shared real-life examples of breaches that occurred due to minor oversights, emphasizing the personal impact—such as losing trust or job disruptions. I involved the team in creating solutions, making them stakeholders rather than rule followers. For instance, we gamified phishing training, turning it into a challenge with small rewards. Gradually, the mindset shifted because they understood the "why" behind the protocols. The key? Listen, educate, and empower—they’ll own security, not just comply.
