As a LEADER, you need to understand why you and the people you work with may RESIST CHANGE and stay in the “Land of Status Quo.” There are four major reasons why people resist change.

The first is FEAR. Fear is internal; it’s in our head. There’s a saying that I am fond of, “Fear is the great crippler of human potential.” There’s also an acronym that uses the letters F, E, A, and R that defines what fear is. The acronym stands for “False Emotions Appearing Real.”

The second reason people resist change is because of EGO. The need to be right is a powerful human need. It’s a common problem with leaders, managers, and business owners.

The third reason why people resist change is to avoid CONFLICT. Because when you try to leave all the people back in the “Land of Status Quo,” you’ll create and get some conflict. It’s not fun, so many people just avoid it all together.

The fourth reason that people resist change is LACK OF PURPOSE. Without a sense of purpose, people become stagnant and complacent. People get burnt out.

As a LEADER of yourself and others, you have to overcome your own fear and help others overcome theirs by helping them change their mental attitudes that hold them back. You also have to make sure that your EGO doesn’t get in the way. By being open to new and different ways to view things, as well as being open to the feedback and insights of others, you create an atmosphere where change is not an “I’m right and your wrong” mentality. Of course, conflict is best handled through proper communication. It sounds simple on the surface, but we all know that it’s not. Finally, you have to develop a sense of purpose, for yourself, and your team. What’s your vision? Is it something that everyone understands and has a stake in?

As a LEADER, you can’t inspire others to make that journey until you show them how it’s done.

How do you get through all the fear, doubt, noise, and obstacles to get to the “Land of Positive Change/Rewards?” Your dreams, your goals, and your vision have to be strong enough and deep enough to get you through it. You really have to demonstrate the characteristics of a leader, don’t you?
