Managers and employees may be resistance to change because it disrupts their comfort level with their processes, procedures, and daily tasks.

Other factors that contribute to resistance is that some employees are uncomfortable with…
I agree with Yusuf if your heart and mind are not wiling to embrace change, it will all be for nothing. That is why I think that people who seek for change will be more likely to embrace change.

Change is an inevitable process of life and can be the most complexing and difficult thing we come to face in our lives. It is something we must overcome in many aspects, shapes and forms. However in whatever form it comes our way, we must embrace it and not be afraid because a fear of change can lead to an unfulfilled life. In my opinion change is a very complex thing and can be embraced though it is a hard process it is also a fact of life. The Catcher in the Rye, The Door and Dead Poets Society contributed to my new understanding of change.…

Though many people may feel as though our lives are evolving so quickly, everything evolves together. We as people change to accommodate the times and trends.…
Change keeps the world moving forward. Without change, we cannot progress as humans and as a species. If we hadn’t begun to evolve thousands of years ago, if we hadn’t embraced the change that was slowly encompassing the world around us, we wouldn’t-couldn’t-be where we are today. That being said, we as humans can’t completely hide from our past, for the sake of closure and comfort and peace of mind. We need to hold onto some of the traditions initiated by our ancestors. Change is radical in such a way that we need to both acquiesce it but at the same time prohibit it from dominating our lives. While it can be invasive at some times in life, it is the one thing that keeps life interesting.. Change challenges human nature to adapt to a new surroundings and does not allow us to become stagnant. In some texts, the fear of change as well as the reckless abandonment of tradition proves to be detrimental to an individual and his or her loved ones.…
Change. From the first breath inhaled to the last, we change hundreds, thousands, of millions of times throughout the entirety. These changes may not always be so obvious, whereas others are blaringly distinct. Change is inevitable, especially as the environment, technology, economy, and people develop. Us, human beings, we are flexible, able to adapt and survive. However, as we adapt to these changes, we can not let these changes compromise our beliefs and principles by which we abide and hold close to our hearts.…
For many years, the world of business has experienced an increasing rate of change. Alvin Toffler (1970) predicted the trend several decades ago. Toffler also noted that people exhibit a natural tendency to resist change. This resistance to change is a major organizational challenge that organizations must learn to manage. As individuals respond to change in different ways, and as variations in responses produce different outcomes the recognition of this resistance to change is an essential step in the development and implementation of effective change management strategies. Change, positive or negative, is unsettling because people seek stability. Certain individuals are more resistant to change than others, at times there can be situational characteristics such as a lack of trust in management contributing to this resistance to change. Often this resistance to change is out of self interest, at stake can be factors such as income, job security, prestige, power, and personal convenience. Low tolerance for change, lack of trust in management, and self interest are all factors which result in resistance to change. However my experience suggests that lack of understanding of the need for change can be the single greatest contributing factor and is the factor which the organization has the greatest control over.…
The normal reason why we reject change in my line of work is the older ways worked and produced good results. A good example is using computers to record and track information, but we try not to understand the process of how Microsoft applications work to generate faster results. The denial of change slows down growth and progress of technology adapting to society advancements. The best way to overcome resistance is sit back and analyze the situation by using the decision-making process to achieve the best…

To be successful, you have to be open to new and better things in the work environment. Change is a way of life and growth that should allow us to go forth. Dealing with change can be very difficult at its best. Changes in the workplace affect everyone; as a supervisor and manager, they face the challenges of change. Getting employees on board with those changes can be a difficult task because of their fear of losing power. Employees face challenges as well, but there challenge is more of a change in habit. This takes them some time to get used to because they have been doing that task a certain way for years versus the way others are trying to implement now. Change is all about what is right for the company so it can go further and beyond. It is the management’s responsibility to make this transition least traumatic as possible for all parties involved. Even though change can be a continuous, long, never ending process, it is possible to implement change. Change is often given because of the affairs of the company, new goals have been given created or because something different needs to happen with the company. Change is not always bad and not always good. The Webster Dictionary says “Change (transitive verb) to make…
Who wonder if this statement was really true, and yes, nothing remains the same. Everybody faces changes in life. Change of class in school, moving house, progressing from a primary student to a high school student, and the loss of loved ones. When you ask someone, “Is change a Good Thing?” Many people would say “no.” As humans, we tend to focus on all the negative changes that happen to us. We do not go deep into these changes and ask ourselves whether there is another side to them. Change has been conveyed as a multidimensional factor of life, with positive and negative influences, as shown by the film Once Upon a Time in Cabramatta (OUATIC) by Bernadette Lim and the poem The Door by Miroslav Holub. Change is a tornado: it comes without warning and can pass by without interference, or can cause irreversible damage. A majority people believe that tornado is a synonym for change. In OUATIC John Newman states the Vietnamese ought to be deported, “The one thing they fear is deportation back to the jungles of Vietnam, because that’s where they belong”. Newman symbolically labels the Vietnamese as uninhabited animals, signifying they cannot assimilate into civilised Australian civilization, and consequently, don’t fit into the Australian civilization. The point that Australia altered its policy and permitted refugees from Vietnam, eliminating the White Australia policy started a colossal conversion in the social and cultural elements of Australia. He uses inclusive language “they” to additionally emphasise the Vietnamese are not Australian and shouldn’t be here. This directed to a change concerning the white Australians and the Vietnamese, affecting this tornado to come without a warning. The white Australians retreated in terms of their civilization. This change headed to a destructive progress – a regression – representing that change doesn’t constantly lead to a good change. Change can lead to positive and negative risk, The Door,…
