Exhibit 14-7 sources of individual resistance to change. Lack of communicaion and respect from one"s supervisor. Lack of communicaion and respect from one"s union representaive. Lack of opportunity for meaningful paricipaion in decision- making. This tacic assumes that the source of resistance lies in misinformaion or poor communicaion. Best used: lack of informaion, or inaccurate informaion. Prior to making a change, those opposed can be brought into the decision process. Best used: where iniiators lack informaion, and others have power to resist. Employee counselling and therapy, new-skills training, or a short paid leave of absence may facilitate adjustment. Best used: to help employees emoionally commit to the change. Establish trust in the managers implemening the change. Best used: when one has a more posiive relaionship with supervisors and who felt that the work environment supported development.
