I think you’ve nailed many of the reasons why people resist change. “Noting that you are the cause of resistance” is big and often ignored. In my own work, I identified three levels (or buckets) why people resist change. Level 1 –they don’t get it Level 2 – they don’t like it (fear) Level 3 – They don’t trust you. Any – or all of these can cause show-stopping resistance. And, as you suggest, the leader is implicated in all of those. Lack of understanding can be traced back to ineffective communication etc. Rick Maurer www.beyondresistance.com www.changemanagementnews.com (blog) Jeff -

I love your post.

I think you’ve nailed many of the reasons why people resist change. “Noting that you are the cause of resistance” is big and often ignored.

Level 1 –they don’t get it
Level 2 – they don’t like it (fear)
Level 3 – They don’t trust you.

Any – or all of these can cause show-stopping resistance. And, as you suggest, the leader is implicated in all of those. Lack of understanding can be traced back to ineffective communication etc.

This doesn't just apply to groups, it applies to yourself. I know that I find myself pushing back when things shift up. It often takes a few minutes (or days) to open my mind to the possibilities. I like how you moved the focus back on the change agent. We can only affect those things inside our circle of influence. Any change that we force on someone else is short term. It is only when we change our approach and win them over that the change becomes permanent. Jeff-great post. This doesn’t just apply to groups, it applies to yourself.
