RESISTANCE TO CHANGE - A NEW PERSPECTIVE

The intention for this book is to present the resistance to change phenomenon from a new perspective. The term resistance is complex and very often misinterpreted. Change leaders should adapt their perspectives on this subject and try to see resistance from a positive angle as well. By just changing the prospect of analyzing it managers could experience a greater success in implementing new changes and effectively attract more employees onto their side. Instead of trying to eliminate or suppress employees' resistance managers should rather use their reactions in a positive framework. Resistance may be useful as feedback and therefore managers can use it to improve and refine the organizational change process.
