People Don’t Resist Change. They Resist…

People don't resist change.

They resist “being” changed.

Here's what actually stalls transformation efforts:

01. Being told what to do 02. Having no say in the solution 03. Fear of losing status or power 04. Being overloaded with ‘extra’ work 05. Looking incompetent in front of peers 06. Solutions designed without them 07. Being labeled ‘change resistant’ 08. An unclear ‘why’ behind the change 09. Past failures they remember 10. Limited understanding of the ‘why’ 11. Their expertise being dismissed 12. Being pushed instead of coached

Instead of telling people what to do, start designing the conditions for adaptation to occur naturally.

You'll see how open to change people are when you talk with them, not at them.
