Further, it puts them at odds with the best interest of students. At that point, the resistors lose their perceived moral high standing – they are against logic, and against what is morally right. That makes their position much less justifiable.
That does not mean that this will come without conflict. The reality is that while resistance will be less strong, it will still exist. There is still the fact that… Continue Reading...
Resistance to Change
There are any number of reasons for resistance to change in an organization, among them poor communication, self-interest, exclusion, lack of trust and lack of skills (Brookins, 2017). Sometimes change is resisted specifically because the organization does not communicate the need for change effectively -- the people see the disruptive aspects of change but they don't understand the motivation behind the change nor the objectives of the change. In such situations, they may resist, but had the communication surrounding the change been better might not have resisted.… Continue Reading...

Most significant change transforms organizational culture on a meaningful level. Employees need… Continue Reading...
and the proposed change, engagement, morale, as well as increased productivity and collaborative willingness. Employee participation is also important for overcoming resistance to change, which is one of the major barriers to successful change implementation (Van Dijk & Van Dick, 2009). Resistance to change results from factors such as lack of clarity over how the change will affect individuals, perceived loss of authority or autonomy, possible disruption of relationships and communication channels, as well as the fear of the unknown. Change may also be resisted due to concerns over likely relocation, dismissal, and changes in workload, work schedule, and compensation. Involving employees can be important for eliminating or minimising the fear… Continue Reading...
Factors
External factors that can lead to resistance to change include: 1) poor leadership, 2) miscommunication, 3) lack of involvement on the part of followers in assisting with the change, and 4) no vision. Internal factors that can lead to resistance are: 1) familiarity with the old way is too strong and the individual does not want to learn a new way; 2) the individual does not trust the leader; 3) the individual feels hurt because he was not consulted, and 4) the individual does not understand the need for change.
The external factors stem from forces… Continue Reading...
as physicians, nurses and administrators at the rural hospital will be on board all at once and therefore there is expected resistance to change. One of the key strategies of dealing with this resistance is communication. This will include communicating the reasons for implementing EHR, the benefits in general and at an individual level, and also the expected changes to procedures, roles and responsibilities (Lind, 2014). Another approach is the provision of ongoing training to unveil the new functionality that might be beneficial to them and also additional insight. An additional strategy for dealing with resistance would be by leveraging the personnel… Continue Reading...

However, superintendent Kim is also a change agent in that she subtly informed Jack about the situation and in doing so suggested that one of the steps he might take as principal might be to finally address the drain on resources that Neuman and his cohort represents. Just the fact of being new makes Jack a change agent by default, too. Jack… Continue Reading...
delineated as a manifestation of reservation that usually emanates as a reaction to change.

government policy is a difficult task.
One of the more striking elements about the Constitution of Texas is that it contains a striking mistrust of government and a marked resistance to change. One of the ways that it manifests its mistrust of government and change is the sheer size of the document. The document is 93,000 words long, making it unwieldy and difficult to use and apply effectively. As some scholars assert, “It reflects the state’s individualistic political culture and a mistrust of government, which have translated into weak political institutions across the board. Consistent with its original intent of ensuring state government would never be oppressive, the Texas Constitution fragments and limits government power” (Coleman). The massive size… Continue Reading...

Borrowing from Roger's theories, it is unlikely that all members of the organization will adopt any new process or technology all at the same time. That is, the organizational members will likely respond to the changes at their own pace; some will quickly accept the change, while others will resist the change on many levels. However, knowing this information beforehand helps the planning process and lets the management know what to expect about the entire change management implementation. For example, knowing that… Continue Reading...
the change, as well as mobilising and providing the required support (Hayes, 2014). This is important for minimising resistance to change and ensuring the success of the change initiative. One of the major most recent changes at Marriott was the change of leadership from the long serving CEO Bill Marriott (a member of the founding family) to Arne Sorenson (a non-family member). Bill had served as CEO of the organisation for about four decades. The change was, therefore, a defining moment in the history of the organisation.
The transition was quite seamless. With a people-oriented philosophy, Bill invested a great deal of time and effort in preparing the… Continue Reading...
1 (as taken from both the Background materials and the Module 1 Case assignment) concerning the need for ongoing adaptation on the part of the organization and the need to avoid organizational inertia and resistance to change. This section should be at least 1 page in length.
One of the key lessons I have learnt is the importance of adaptability. Corporations that lack a high level of adaptability will eventually fade away, either by being dissolved or through merger and acquisition. Change is an inevitable aspect in the life span of an organization and therefore failure to adapt to such change can result in failure of the entity. In the contemporary, technological advancement has brought about major prospects for innovative organizations, but at the… Continue Reading...

Resistance to change is a genuine problem in all large organizations, though, and one that still needs to be addressed through conscientious effort and a spirit of optimism. When Trask challenged the colonialist assumptions and ignorance of white privilege in a scathing letter condemning one student’s white privilege, the backlash was indicative of the resistance to change. Trask was severely censured, and had to work long and hard to clarify and justify her response. When similar incidents arise on campus, leaders need to work together and consider the big picture… Continue Reading...
Krishna is Arjuna’s spiritual counselor, helping Arjuna to overcome his fear and resistance to change. In Chapter 4, Krishna’s lessons for Arjuna become more intellectual in nature. Krishna teaches Arjuna about the nature of true discipleship, as in the devotional relationship between supplicant and god or guru. Krishna also teaches Arjuna about the god’s own nature as avatar and manifestation of the supreme God. This is also where Krishna refers to the concept of ritual sacrifice, and how it ties in with Arjuna’s own journey, in which he must learn to make sacrifices in the interests of eliminating ignorance and promoting spiritual… Continue Reading...

When Winning is Losing
Literature often reveals the profound paradoxes of life, the ironies that befuddle human beings and make human societies complex and contradictory. Short stories can achieve their thematic goals even more poignantly than longer format prose. In Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” winning the titular game means essentially losing the biggest game of all: one’s life, one’s… Continue Reading...
