Change Resistance

Change resistance refers to the reluctance or refusal to accept new ideas, processes, or changes within an organization or society. This can stem from fear of the unknown, comfort with the current situation, or concerns about potential negative impacts. People may resist changes because they feel they lack control, fear losing their jobs, or believe the change won't improve their situation. Understanding these feelings is important for leaders trying to implement change, as addressing concerns and providing support can help ease the transition and foster acceptance.
