What you need to do to get people to change

Our natural instinct for survival works against us wanting to change

Our brains are hard-wired to help us survive; a trait inherited from our earliest ancestors. Which means that we are driven to do whatever it takes to prevent anything which could cause us harm.

And one of those things is change.

Change in whatever form, requires a great deal of mental energy and as such is viewed as something which is threatening. So instead of meekly giving into it, we tend to fight against it with every fibre of our being. Or to use a quote by A.J. Cronin.

“A change imposed is a change opposed”

Which means that if you want to effectively implement change, you need to lessen, as much as possible, the energy that people use in resisting it. And you can largely do this by involving them in every step of the change-process from start to finish. To learn more, click here.
