Most change plans don’t even consider or mention resistance to change. Yet it should be a primary focus in all our change interventions. Every change initiative starts out weak & vulnerable, without a track record of success. People are suspicious. They already have everyday struggles & don’t want these extra considerations to add to their burden. We need to make wise choices about the stress we put on our teams & people. When we make the decision to pursue change, we need to anticipate resistance & build strategies to work with it, understanding that resistance is part of change & is often a positive thing. “Resisters” often have an important perspective, can point out important flaws & make the change stronger. greg-satell.medium.com/why-y….
