Change is unavoidable. Resistance is universal. Understanding it changes everything.
Why do people resist change?
Why do some embrace it while others defend against it?
Why do organisations struggle to adapt, even when the need for change seems obvious?
Drawing on more than forty years of experience in leadership, organisational development, psychology, coaching and change management, Michael Wash explores these questions through one powerful metaphor: the brickwall.
Some brickwalls are built from fear. Some from habit, pride, anxiety or past experience. Some protect us. Some imprison us.
Through humour, practical wisdom and thought-provoking insight, 54 Ways to Work With Change presents fifty-four memorable approaches to understanding and working with resistance—both in ourselves and in others.
Inside you will discover:
Why resistance to change is often emotional rather than rational
How leaders unintentionally create defensiveness
Practical ways of building trust, engagement and ownership
Creative approaches to overcoming personal and organisational barriers
The dangers of manipulation, coercion and fear-based leadership
How to develop resilience, adaptability and self-awareness
In addition to the fifty-four Brickwall Management Approaches, this revised edition includes practical tools for:
• Leadership development
• Team effectiveness
• Organisational culture
• Effective meetings
• Personal effectiveness and time management
• Reflective practice and self-assessment
Written with warmth, humour and honesty, this book is for leaders, managers, coaches, consultants, facilitators and anyone seeking to navigate change more successfully in work and life.
Because the greatest barriers to change are rarely made of brick.
