Indeed, you are absolutely right Bob! That’s what makes the job of the Organizational Coach so interesting. What you point out is especially true as you deal with upper management.

I’m actually working on another post (to be published in June) that speaks to the resistance your mentioned.

Thanks for your comment.

Well said Martin. Yet so many things get in the way:
- Protection of power
- Resistance to change from fear
- Resistance to change from ignorance
- Unwillingness of the people manager to put their reputation on the line
- Resistance to change from lack of proof (the catch 22)
