Ann asked, “Are there behaviors you’ve witnessed that appear to support change but actually prevent it?” And then she threw in another ringer…“Are there processes or customs in your organization that make it difficult to do something new?”
I was intrigued by Ann Michael’s post… The Change Resistors: A 
Collaborative Series…and especially by the questions that engage her readers on a key topic….
I really look forward to reading Ann’s upcoming “series on the tactics people employ to resist change” at Manage To Change … where she promised to cover processes that might be built into an organization... that make change difficult.
While Ann’s series will help readers recognize, understand, and manage these behaviors and processes when they encounter them,” the introductory post also makes me think of the resistor build solid into some folk’s brains and sitting there tighter than a drum, because habits are formed… and habits are set… deep in comfort levels through the basal ganglia section of the brain.
It takes risk and insights and support to get past ol’ basal and it will be fun to watch these posts unfold. All to say thanks for building curiosity on this one, Ann.... You have my attention!
Wow - I'll do my best not to let you down!
