Five tips for: Managing resistance
Posted August 12th, 2009 by DiscussHR
- Do change management right the first time - effective change management can eliminate many of causes of resistance before it occurs
- Expect it - do not be surprised by resistance, expect it and plan for it
- Address it formally - incorporate resistance management planning in all phases of your change management strategy and plan development
- Identify the root causes - make sure that you aren't simply responding to the symptom, but really addressing what is causing the resistance
- Engage the "right" resistance managers - senior leaders, managers and supervisors are the "right" people in the organization to manage resistance
