User Stories & Daily Updates Practices Failed

After explaining to my colleagues what users stories are and advising them to use it to refine the User Requirement Specifications, none heeded my advice. Why?

I tried to muster an environment where people would update each other through email every day on the progress of the project. Having a sense of progress can really turn things around. I have no solid data or citation for this, just from my observation so far. After I stopped emailing the team members of the updates, none tried to continue this practice that I’m trying to establish. Why?

These are the questions that I’m trying to find an answer, maybe I can find it in some books but it’ll be better if I asked my colleagues directly.

I thought the use of User Stories is obvious to get what the users want but there’s a bit of confusion involving what’s inside the URS is not what the users want. The users wants this and this, but the team lead insist on following the URS. So what’s it gonna be?
