Quick question: As a leader, how many change efforts are you currently part of? Chances are, it’s at least one. Maybe your organization is switching to a new technology. Or scaling up, down or restructuring. Adjusting to a hybrid workplace. Rolling out a new DEIA initiative. Even the loss or addition of a team member can be a considerable change since it requires realigning roles and relationships.

What are the chances that any one of these efforts will be completely successful? Pretty slim, actually. While there are many contributing factors, one of the most fundamental is human resistance to change.
