Resistance to Change

One of the most baffling and recalcitrant of the problems which people in all segments of life, whether work or personal life face is the resistance to change in or from people around. Any type of Change is, put in simple words, a variation in pre-existing habits, methods, customs and conventions. Change is always inevitable but so is resistance to change. It is the basic human nature of people to try and keep their methods and customs constant.

In order to facilitate transitions and changes, we should identify the exact reason for resistance. People generally find it convenient to continue doing something what they have always been doing. Making them learn something new is difficult. Changes always bring about alterations in a person’s duties, powers and influences. People who are adamant on maintaining customs instead of taking risks and doing new things will always resist changes. This can happen either due to their insecurities or lack of creativity and will.
