KEYNOTE: Understanding and Overcoming that Annoying Resistance to Your Ideas
Do you have a good idea? You want to introduce a change into your organization, whether it be agile methods or sustainability practices, or anything you believe will be valuable. But other people do not see the value and they are standing in your way. Skeptics are often all around us. You must continually recognize them if you want a change to be sustainable. Who are they and why are they resisting? How can you understand and persuade them? (Hint: the answer is not to simply give them more information.) This presentation will provide some practical tips for identifying and working with resistance on your team, in your organization, and in your personal life too.
Mary Lynn Manns, PhD, is the co-author of two books with Linda Rising, "Fearless Change: Patterns for Introducing New Ideas" and "More Fearless Change: Strategies for Making Your Ideas Happen". She has led numerous presentations and workshops on the topic of change throughout the world at conferences and in organizations that include Microsoft, amazon.com, Apple, Procter & Gamble, and Avon.
