10 Tips for Overcoming Resistance to Change

 

 

 

 

Divide to Conquer

Address human and organizational barriers to change separately.

 

Organizational Change System

 

 

 

Communicate

Master result-oriented communication. Tell everyone why the change is needed. What's obvious to you may not be obvious to them. Don't assume they see what you see.

 

Present Change as an Opportunity

Motivate Employees to Embrace Change

 

 

 

 

Enthuse

Create an environment of creative dissatisfaction with the status quo. Ensure that everyone understands that standing still means dropping behind.

 

Questioning Culture

Relentless Growth Attitude

 

 

 

Inspire

Set and communicate your vision. Define and visualize desired outcomes ‒ people must know what the desired result looks like to be able to help you to get there. Sell benefits of a greater future to inspire and motivate people and, ultimately, make your vision a reality.

Inform

Build in as much certainty as you can. Give people insight into the steps you are taking to implement change. Give them the facts about what they’re facing. Share how you will prepare people to take on new ways of working.

 

 

 

Explain

Shape expectations. Define milestones and timelines. Make sure people know what is expected of them.

Keep Sharing Insights

Communicate effectively, frequently, honestly and credibly even in times of uncertainty when you don’t have complete information. Feeling informed goes a long way toward building trust. Acknowledge your own mistakes and say what you’re doing to correct them ‒ it is one of the best ways to soften resistance and it also opens the door for others to admit their own mistakes and search for a new common ground.
