I am going to make the assumption that this goes for implementing change in our schools as well. If we wait until we have everyone on board then we will never make any changes. Let's "delight" as many as we can and for the rest...

A motto for those doing work that matters:
"We can't please everyone, in fact, we're not even going to try."
Or perhaps:
"Pleasing everyone with our work is impossible. It wastes the time of our best customers and annoys our staff. Forgive us for focusing on those we're trying to delight."
The math here is simple. As soon as you work hard to please everyone, you have no choice but to sand off the edges, pleasing some people less in order to please others a bit more. And it drives you crazy at the same time.
