Employee resistance is the biggest barrier to change. Let's face it—the very quickest way for the organization to pick up speed is for resisters to take their foot off the brakes. The best way for it to become more adaptive is for people to stop their desperate attempts to preserve the status quo. The sixteen guidelines in this handbook show you how to free up the valuable energy that's being wasted on resistance.
