week 9 - Indentifying beliefs about changes

On page 314 box 11.1, there is an interesting exercise on how to identify your beliefs about changes. I am going to answer a few questions asked in this box to identify my beliefs about change.
1) I believe that most employees dread making changes and are not very enthusiastic about it.
2) When it comes to making changes most managers would probably be more worried about how things would be for them and hope that they would not have to loose anything.
3) I believe people do disagree about whether people are are able to change.
4) People resist change because, change is hard to adapt and there is a notion that things would become bad for them and they hope not to loose anything, such as their cabin, office or floor they work on, project team members etc.
5) The best way to overcome resistance to change would be to educate all the employees about what the changes would be and how would everyone be benefited by it.
