What do you do when an employee won't buy in to your change?

You have created a path for change, you asked others to follow but did not require them to be fully convinced, you met with them where they are instead of making them come to you, and yet there are still some on your team who are doing things that are against your new direction. Maybe they don't confront you directly but their behaviors and actions are in direct conflict with you efforts. What do you do? If you know, are absolutely certain, that you will be acting for love of your company or team and not because you feel slighted, then act boldly. Move quickly to remove them. Act with the conviction that these few are hurting the larger group. Do this for two reasons, first if you truly care about your team's success they do not deserve to have someone directly hurting that success, second the team must know that you truly believe what you are preaching and open defiance brings that into question.
