Criticism of Change

When you implement change it unfortunately seems almost inevitable that you'll be criticized. While a small portion of folks might praise you, they are the minority. Why do people criticize change? Ron Edmondson shares the five most common reasons people criticize change.

 

Confused -These people just don’t understand the change.

Conflicted – Some people object to change because they are objecting to life. They have past hurts they can’t resolve.

Care – These people simply don’t think you care.

Control – You stepped on someone’s power.

Comfort – These critics, who are the most common group, simply don’t like change.

To increase the likelihood of a successful change, consider and address these issues with your staff.
