Dealing With Difficult People – Introducing Change –
Most people resist change. Is seems to be a natural response. To introduce change, anticipate resistance and make plans to overcome it.
Six ideas to increase success include:
- If you want commitment, Involve people in the planning process as soon as possible. Participation leads to commitment.
- Explain the upcoming change and why the change is needed. Outline the benefits of the change to the individual(s).
- Outline how the change will affect the individual(s). Demonstrate the careful considerations you have made before making the decision..
- Ask for their concerns first. There are always concerns so give the process time.
- Ask for their questions second..
- Ask for support in making the change work, i.e. “Can I count on you to make this change?”
