WHITE PAPER | Resistance to change refers to the reluctance or opposition of individuals or groups to accept or support a new idea, process, or initiative. It can manifest in various ways, such as passive resistance, active resistance, or sabotage.
Resistance to change is common because change can be disruptive and uncomfortable. People may fear the unknown or feel a sense of loss when familiar routines or processes are changed. Additionally, people may resist change if they do not fully understand the need for it or if they do not feel included in the decision-making process.
Resistance to change can be problematic because it can hinder progress and innovation.
