Overview
Researchers are inherently change agents. You identify opportunities for optimization and innovation for your teams and organizations. You identify opportunities for change. You take steps to drive that change forward. And although your organization has asked this of you, a common companion to driving change is resistance. This tutorial explores how to manage resistance to change to maximize your success.
Participants will learn and practice:
- 5 tips for managing resistance to change
- Building a plan to manage resistance you are facing or have faced
- Articulating your plan and receiving feedback from peers that also experience resistance
- What research has to say about attributes that make change agents most successful
During this interactive session, participants will work on articulating their vision for change, mapping support and resistance within their own network and receiving helpful ideas from their fellow attendees.
Requirements
- Participants should bring examples of current resistance they are experiencing, or have experienced in their past.
- There will be a light reading assignment to be completed before the tutorial.
