Can ‘resistance to change’ become your greatest leadership resource?
(Why is resistance so pervasive? And can you make resistance your friend?)
The change you’re proposing isn’t rocket science. And you know that if you could get people to buy-in, this change would be good for everyone. People would be more energized. They’d achieve more. And you’d all love coming to work.
But, people are resisting.
They do it in different ways. Some disagree out loud. Others are quieter.
It can be really painful
Physically knot-in-the-stomach painful - to talk with people about making changes and have them say (in a gasping tone of voice),“We can’t do that!!”
But, it’s even worse to have them nod their heads and say, “Okay, okay, okay.” Like they agree with the idea and are ready to take action. But, then go away – and do nothing!
You’re left waiting, all alone, thinking, “I thought we were going to do this.”
Either way - they’re not getting it.
Not buying-in.
It’s frustrating .
The more you push the more they pull. The more you try to lead – the more they resist. You can feel like you’re losing it.
You start wondering, “What am I missing? What’s wrong with me that am I’m not being successful here? Why can’t I move these people?”. And you’re secretly wondering if humans hate change…
It’s a common myth that ‘people always resist change’. The truth is they don’t.
People are wired to change, grow, and evolve. It’s just that most change efforts don’t take advantage of our natural human wiring – our fundamental motivation to grow.
