How to Introduce Change to Your Employees

Think it through, build support, deal with resistance

#12 in the series.

How can you introduce change so that those who are going to be affected by it will be enthusiastic, rather than resistant?

In your ideal business, once you decide upon a needed change, you would just announce it . . . “Starting next Monday, we will all…” and all your people would willingly accept that new way of doing things. Alas, it rarely works this way! Instead, you find yourself exhorting, cajoling and threatening—and sometimes backing off and giving up on the change.

This book shows you step-by-step how to bring about needed change—large or small— in the workings of your company, with a minimum of resistance and back-sliding.
