It’s said that the challenge of improvement is 10% technical and 90% people-related.

Although nuts and bolts have to be right for implementing change, a workforce’s buy-in is generally the make-or-break factor in continuous improvement.

The most likely reason that people resist change is its bad track record. If a plan offers a credible prospect for low risk, high reward, and minimal cost, getting buy-in is not nearly as difficult.

Expert Sean Fields joins Adam to discuss in depth why people resist change.

Discover:

  • Why workforce buy-in is necessary for any change;
  • Why employers overlook the biggest reason employees resist change;
  • Strategies to help ensure that a change is truly beneficial;
  • And much more!
