Me? Change? Not Now. Not Ever! How to Dissolve Hard-Core Resistance to Change in the Workplace
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
What do all leaders in all organizations in all industries ask repeatedly? (1)"Why aren't my employees gung-ho about needed change projects?" and (2)"What can I do to get their commitment to support those projects?"
These leaders' hopes for organizational improvement are being held hostage by RESISTANCE TO CHANGE.
Written in a conversational, information-packed style, peppered with real life examples, this book shows how to turn resistance into positive commitment & support.
Why is This Book Long Overdue?
• 70% of all change projects fail.
• Why? Resistance to change. So say Fortune 500 execs.
• Most "solutions" increase, rather than decrease, the level of resistance to change.
• The conventional approach only treats resistance as a logical problem to be solved. It ignores the irrational, emotion-based aspect of resistance that must be dissolved.
What is the solution to this problem? This book.
