That is why people avoid change. To encourage people to assist with the change, you must create a sense of urgency (Kotter, 1996, 1998) 2) You can try and battle the resistance to change that people have by yourself, or you can make your life much easier by enlisting the help of others.

Leadership requires planning, and making goals ahead of time is important for success.

Knowing the company’s owner “hears you” when you are frustrated can make the difference between an employee quitting, or staying put and seeing the change all the way through.
