How to Deal with Resistance to Change | Heather Stagl | TEDxGeorgiaStateU

When it comes to change, we tend to naturally resist it. However, the reasons for resistance to change are not always what you might think. Change advocate Heather Stagl encourages us to think about the hidden resistance to change.
As founder of Enclaria, Heather Stagl equips individuals and teams to influence change at work through individual coaching, team workshops, and training programs. Heather is a blogger and radio host of the "Influence Change at Work" show on BlogTalkRadio. She is the author of 99 Ways to Influence Change and the change management toolkit, the Irresistible Change Guide. After moving to Atlanta, she conducted a research and training program on strategy execution at Balanced Scorecard Collaborative. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from Northwestern University and an MBA in Leadership and Change Management from DePaul University. Heather completed coach training at The Coaches Training Institute. She was the 2011 Chair of Organization Change Alliance, a learning community of organization development practitioners in Atlanta.

    Thank you for getting on the court and giving a TED talk! My take away is that one needs to get into the world of the individual resisting change to understand if it's a fear, or looking good thing for them. I would enjoy seeing a part two where the strategies are discussed in more depth.

    Change in the workplace can be frustrating but I agree with what was said. When trying to implement change, don't take it personally when people don't buy into it right away. I've coached many of my clients through change and always love seeing the outcome when they overcome resistance. Cheers!

    I liked the talk. I see what she was saying too in terms of handling it: expect it, don't personalize it (to you or to them) and investigate what is beneath it.

    Thank you for presenting your perspective on the fundamental attribution error. I learned the importance of discovering the underlying reasons why people are resisting change instead of making a fundamental attribution error.

    I think one solution could be praising each incremental progress that an employee does. I think people need instant appreciation like we use to do to a baby who is trying to stand on his feet for the first time. Mobile games also use it by congratulating the player every minute.

    For those who have posted the negative comments. There is no checklist to remove resistance or hot sauce as she mentions. It would be worth your valuable time completing some research and learning about where this information fits within the process of MoC. There are a number of different MoC models where this information from Heather is invaluable when making change.

    really great speech.... everyone is looking for the magic sauce or silver bullet and there isn't one, emotive connections are based on individuals ... there are frameworks you can apply to create building blocks that deal with emotive resistance but you will need hybrid versions for each scenario. Individuals are unique, not machines. Most of the below comments illustrate just how big the problem really is.

    I think the secret is when the change is met with resistance it requires discussion. It requires listening to the other person and trying to understand how they think...if either side won't try to listen and understand then the problem is more about attitude.

    It was quite clear - resistance is a symptom of an underlying concern, and prior to implementing change the reason for the resistance must be uncovered. For some, it may not have been "the latest" or "new" in terms of information, but certainly there is value to what was said. Look first at our own interpretation, not make it personal, and critically analyze the reason why there is resistance. It's one piece - not all - but, again, valuable.

    Inspiring speech. Resistance should be treated as something to be uncovered, whether in organisation life or in private life. Sometimes slowing things down is a way of maintaining control of the situation.

    People are often resistant to change because they are stuck in their way of doing things. One of the most important things that organizations need to change is systemic racism in organizations.

    For me it's not about dealing with resistance in them it's about me working with people differently. Change is not simply reprogramming the system and that's it delivered it's far more complex than that. Its about building and sustaining the change. The sustaining is the long slog that most change managers aren't about for.

    By understanding that your resistance is due to an underlying fear you're trying to push back against, and being aware of that fear will help you be less resistant. "Resistance to change" is a term used in psychology and it relates to cognitive dissonance and sturbborness
