Some common synonyms of change are alter, modify, and vary. While all
these words mean "to make or become different," change implies making
either an essential difference often amounting to a loss of original identity
or a substitution of one thing for another.
2. Give at least 2 positive impacts of resistance on the change management
process. (5 points)
Resistance to change forces us to listen and gather feedback. It forces us
to get employees involved with the change and foster better solutions. It
forces us to develop resistance management and reinforcement plans.
Employees who resist a change initiative are often responding more to
the person in the leadership position rather than the change itself. This
comes about if those in leadership positions have not yet earned the trust
of the employees, like when there is a new leader within the organization
At some time in our careers we have all experienced a few bad ideas
implemented and sometimes with disastrous results. Employee resistance
to change can actually help prevent bad ideas from being implemented. It
can also help prevent good ideas from getting implemented badly.
