Not Understanding the Need for ChangeCommunication is the key to overcoming the resistance generated by a lack of understanding the need for change. Here it is important to assess the individual’s preferred communications style, if you are working with just one person. Does the individual respond better to a rational-logical argument that analyzes the pros and cons of change? Or is this someone who reacts better to passionate discourse with an emphasis on the emotional side of the need for change? If you are going to be meeting with a group, you would want to make a similar assessment and try to determine which style was more at play with the members.
Losing Something of ValueTo address people’s resistance to change due to the perception that they are losing something of value, you must first be honest. They may be right, and to attempt to persuade them that they are not losing anything does nothing but destroy your credibility. They will stop listening and continue resisting. It is important to try to determine what is being lost money, power, and job security? Then, acknowledge their notion of loss, but try to help the individuals see the issue from a different perspective. Perhaps the loss would be greater if they continued resisting.
Creating an Environment That Encourages Personal DevelopmentGood coaches know they get better as a result of coaching their players. Good teachers realize they learn as much from their students as their students learn from them. Discussing how to work through the political environment within the organization with a protege helps the mentor achieve more clarity about how to do that successfully. By putting your attention into coaching, teaching, and mentoring others, you will also be developing yourself. If you are truly open to understanding your emotions and to learning new behaviors, you will become a better managerial leader.
