Resistance to Change Whenever we have change either Alpha or Gama level we have to face resistance. Resistance: "It is the pushback we face when we are changing a structure or a system." Or "It is the natural reaction of individuals towards anything that challenges their status quo." Or "It is the sum of all forces that try to maintain the status quo, and function against change." Resistance can be observed in two forms in organization: 1. Actively Direct resistance/ reaction e.g. "Absolutely not, this change can't be made." 2. Passively Running away from change or making excuses e.g. "I don't have time to obtain the meeting."

Managing or Overcoming the Resistance: The concept of managing resistance was first introduced by Kurt Lewin in 1940's. Lewin also developed a scientific technique for analyzing resistance known as "Force Field Analysis". Generally rsistance can be: 1. Openly communicated and share information 2. Ensure open communication, participation and education. 3. Communicate the logic of change / reason of change through circles, magazines and groups presentation

4. Use negotiating strategies e.g. Golden handshakes and MOUs (Memorandum of Understanding). 5. Allow employees to express their views. 6. Communicate goals and measure and evaluate performance 7. Avoid surprises, provide/ give sufficient time to employees to adjust and get mentally prepared 8.

Edict: An official order, especially one which is given in a forceful and unfair way. Memorandum of Understanding: A temporary written agreement between two companies or employer and employees, etc. that explains how they intend to do business with each other and what their relationship will be Force Field Analysis: It is a technique for analyzing resistance in a change effort. It examines: 1) Supporting forces 2) Restraining forces
