Radhakrishnan Nair, Prof. R. Sahadevan Overcoming resistance to change and power of the mind at work Most corporate change initiatives are met with tremendous resistance and, not surprisingly, they do not succeed. Accordingly, managers and leaders need to learn why this is so and what to do about it. Change is felt on a personal level. Unless organizations address the biological and emotional responses to change, they will continue to fall short of their attempts to lead successful change initiatives. Alternatively, when leaders proactively focus on how change affects the human system and how employees are impacted, they are more likely to learn how to listen to the resistance and speak the language that supports change. Employees generally do not have all the information to understand why the threat (change) is happening. Because they lack this information, they tend to think in a way that obstructs the change and it contributes to multiple levels of resistance. They quickly direct their energy toward protecting the status quo. When employees create stories without knowledge, (which aren't always accurate) to justify the change and they spread misinformation across informal networks within the organization, it results in negative energy. And like the Titanic, which couldn't be stopped in time once the iceberg was spotted, the momentum of negative energy surrounding the change initiative cannot be halted quickly. When employees feel threatened, they are more likely to leave the organization or they seek to other departments not affected by the change. With key talent depleted, the change initiative ultimately fails. To achieve success with change initiatives, modify the way employees think and feel about change. One way to accomplish this is by enabling employees to self-discover the benefits of the change initiative through focused communication. The ultimate solution is focus. Detailed attention reshapes the patterns of the brain, leading to less discomfort associated with the threat or change and the creation of new behaviors. Today's organizations are comprised of multiple-generations, including Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation Y, and Gen. X.
