RESISTANCE TO CHANGE

Resistance to change is a natural part of being human and changing one's habits requires effort and will.

This especially happens to those who have experience.

I've always done it this way and nothing has ever happened to me.

The "leader of the pack" does this and no one tells him anything, so I do it too.

Here comes "this new one", who knows nothing, and comes to teach us how he works.

You talk, I know how to do it. Not you.

Resistance to change is one of the phenomena that most characterizes the performance of an activity and in particular organizational change and improvement projects.

This expression refers to those attitudes, partly conscious and partly unconscious, which lead people and stakeholders impacted by a new way of doing things or project, to take an antagonistic view towards the objectives, effectively hindering their progress. .

Changing the way people work is a difficult undertaking because it involves changing habits that are consolidated and strengthened over time on which, moreover, a significant part of the culture and skills of each organization has been built.

After all, habits allow you to save mental energy and reduce daily stress. In this sense it is human to try to maintain them. Instead, they become a penalizing factor when they keep alive schemes that are no longer valid, outdated over time or which no longer allow us to respond to the needs for which they were built.

Be careful, however, that preconceptions are abused and the ability to discriminate is lost if emotional intelligence is not developed.

However, in accident prevention we don't always have time to wait.

Much depends on how you fit into the organization, how you position yourself and how much you are accepted.
