Support for Change • Leadership plus Facilitation • Get the Right Team Involved • Team Building • Secure Resources
Sources of Resistance to Change • Loss of Face • Loss of Control • Excess Uncertainty (fear) • Surprise • The “Difference” effect (fear) • Ripple Effect (interruptions) • More Work (fatigue) • Past Resentments (memories) • Real Threats (winner vs loser) • Competing Commitments (prioritization)
Overcoming Resistance to Change • Listening to what people say • Communicating so that people feel knowledgeable and are involved in the change • Addressing the concerns so that the real issues of resistance are surfaced and managed • Applying the 80/20 rule that requires putting the effort into preparing for the change rather than the change itself
Why Improvements Fail • Perception • Technology (High) • Infrastructure (Medium) • Management of Change (Low) • Reality • Technology (Low) • Infrastructure (Medium) • Management of Change (Very High)

Mistakes in Managing Change • Assuming that people know what behavior is expected and the skills and support needed to succeed (expectations/skills) • Change takes time, managers need to be persistent (reinforcement) • Focusing on what is going to be achieved rather than the process to achieve it (looking ahead) • Not scheduling enough time for those effected to perform their other tasks (overload) • Triggering a stronger emotional response through trying to minimize that response (secrecy) • Coercive versus inclusive management as deadlines approach (Just Do It!) • Benefits based in “shareholder value” not including benefit to the employee included in the vision (Wholelistic)
