There’s a myth that people don’t like change. But as Margaret Wheatley put it: "People do not resist change—people change all the time. What people resist is having others impose change on them." Like people, organizations also change all the time. They can either impose change, which leads to resistance, or they can involve their employees in the change to help ensure buy-in. The needs of employees differ based on personality. The purpose of this presentation is to help you learn how to include the (sometimes opposing) needs of different personality types in a change management strategy.

Notas del editor
- Cats don’t like change. When you go on vacation, you don’t board your cat like you would a dog. You get a pet sitter to come to your house. Cats are highly territorial. They don’t like to leave home.
- Neanderthals lived in Europe for a quarter million years. In all that time, their technology didn’t change—up until the time that modern humans first appeared in Europe, about 35,000 years ago. Then Neanderthals began copying our technology. But it was too little, too late. Neanderthals couldn’t compete with modern humans, and they went extinct. They lacked our inquisitive nature.
- Studies have shown that the average 4-year-old girl asks the question “Why?” about 400 times a day.
- But all too often, the answer we give them is “Because I said so.” Now, sometimes, this is the only way to stop small children from questioning your decisions. They don’t really want to know why. They just want you to give in. But when it comes to adults, “because I said so” is never a sufficient answer.
- It’s a myth that people resist change. When organizations find that change is necessary, they must get buy-in, or the change will fail.
- While some people are energized by new opportunities, others may be stuck, unable to adjust, wishing things were back the way they used to be. Effective change management accounts for these extremes and all the variations in between.
- You don’t need to know the personality type of the people affected by the change. In fact, it may not even be useful to know their type. Many factors other than personality play a role, and you don’t want to treat people like stereotypes.
- H.J. Heinz’s first business went bankrupt. His second business invented ketchup and grew into a 12 billion dollar company. Entrepreneurship is often the story of failures that lead to success.
- In the Marshmallow Challenge devised by Peter Skillman, recent kindergarten graduates significantly outperformed recent business school graduates. Instead of trying to devise the single right plan, the kindergartners experimented until they found a good solution.
