checklist on resistance to change "The top reason for resistance by managers in the 2005 study [Prosci's 2005 Best Practices in Change Management] was loss of power and control, followed by an overload of current responsibilities and a lack of awareness of the need for change. Notice that none of the top reasons for resistance by managers or employees are related to the particular solution, rather they are tied to how the change is introduced and managed into these groups. "

This web site talks about the personal reactions to change in a variety of professional positions and how resistance can effect it. Clear outlines are provided on why people resist change, understanding the process a person might naturally take and how to foster appropriate attitudes toward resistance to changes. Professionals may often resist change initially until they are able to recognize the benefits of the change will outweigh the costs of keeping things the same. This is an important barrier to consider when proposing an action plan.
