Understanding why people resist change is crucial in navigating organizational transitions successfully. Several factors contribute to this resistance, such as fear of the unknown, loss of control, disruption of routines, and uncertainty about the future. To overcome this resistance, organizations can implement strategies like effective communication, involving employees in the change process, providing support and training, and highlighting the benefits of the change. By addressing these concerns proactively and fostering a culture that embraces change, organizations can facilitate smoother transitions and drive positive outcomes.
