Change agents
Manage resistance to change R170
Do you struggle with resistance? Are you afraid of 'difficult people sabotaging your change?' With this simple yet powerful tool, you can ensure that you, your leaders, your change agents and your managers never have to fear resistance again. For a mere R170 (or less for volume orders), get a tool that you can use over and over again, during any change.
How it works:
When introducing a change, people react in different ways. Some are unaware that the change applies to them. Some are angry or resistant. Some fear change. Others are excited. With the change cycle cards it doesn’t matter how people react.
All you have to do is listen to what people are saying.
Then match what they are saying to the relevant card in this pack. This will tell you what stage of the change cycle the person is in.
Read the back of the card to find out what action you need to take as a leader, to move them to the next stage of the change cycle.
workshop activities using the change cycle cards.
During a workshop, divide your group into smaller teams. Each team thinks of a change they want to implement, and the person/group that is likely to resist the most. Then using the change cycle cards, they act how how the resisting person is likely to behave, and what they as leaders can do to move them through the change cycle. See the photos below for some examples of people using the change cycle cards.
