“I’ve got my own problems. Just fix it!”
Customers
“We are doing the best we can with the
resources we have. Why can’t they
understand that?”
Customer Support
“We need to make compromises, but everyone
has their own agenda. When it comes to
changing things around here, all I get is
pushback and change resistance.”
Director
“I want results not excuses! Changes must be
implemented now. Not tomorrow. Not next
month. NOW!!!”
Senior Executive
“I agree. We have to fix things. . . And we would
if we weren’t so busy managing crises.”
Managers
“We’ve got processes. We’ve got policies.
Everyone understands them. No one has time to follow them.”

• Neurology
• Biology
• Chaos Theory
• Complexity Theory
Neurology saysNeurology says
Real Change is Brain Change
Our brains automatically associate
change with pain. Once the association
is made, it is permanently etched into
our neural network
Change Hurts
Real Change Causes Real Pain
ReasonReasonEmotionEmotion
Biology says real change means Biology says real change means
changing the group mind
The Group Mind Always Wins—
especially when the organization is
under stress

Many Social Rules
Chaos Theory says Chaos Theory says
Organizations will always seek stability
Organizations are not created equal
One organization’s stability is another
organization’s chaos
Orderly organizations are like pelicans
• Process-centric
• Attract people who prefer structure provided
by processes
• Resist innovation
• Distrust innovators & change agents
Orderly organizations are like pelicans
Disorderly organizations are like wolf packs
• Innovative
• Attract people who are easily bored with process & prefer to be inventive
• Experiment with new processes then abandon them
• Distrust process & change agents
Disorderly organizations are like wolf packs
Hybrid organizations are like penguins
• Flip periodically between order & disorder
• Attract people who prefer order but have a
tolerance for disorder & ambiguity
• Return to dominant state after workplace
upheaval
• Distrust change agents
Hybrid organizations are like penguins
Complexity Theory says Complexity Theory says
Organizations are rules based systems
Groups “self-organize” around a unique set of
“rules for change”
Change Resistance is a Safety Feature
Change Resistance is NOT A BUG
