Overcoming Resistance to Change

Overcoming Resistance to Change
Free Download - Employee Turnover in the IT Industry By Ben Nash
Name: Email:

Immunity generally refers to your physical well being (particularly in the current H1N1 epidemic); but Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey have written a book that deals with psychological rather than physical immunity. Their book: “Immunity to Change: How to Overcome It and Unlock the Potential in Yourself and Your Organization” proposes that our deeply held and sometimes unconscious beliefs create a natural but powerful immunity to change.

The downside is that the greater our immunity to change, the less effective we are in our personal and professional lives. Deciphering our immunity to change, they say, lets us know what is holding us back and brings into focus our potential to move forward.

Their approach do diagnosing immunity to change is deceptively simple. You need to identify the following three factors:

  1. Identify what you are doing now instead of what you need to do
  2. Recognize the competing commitments that cause you to do the things you do rather than the stuff you should be doing
  3. Diagnose the “big assumptions” (either conscious or unconscious) that drive you do what you are doing
Sounds simple, but using the techniques outlined in the book can lead to some pretty profound insights, and potentially some real personal and professional growth. Anyone involved in employee training and development should take a look at this book.

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
