Question 1

trust

Question 2

Reasons for Resistance to Change: (8)

Answer 2

the reason for the change is poorly communicated and unclear or simply not compelling to the group (they do not see a need from it),
the change is foisted upon a group without consulting the group or seeking to understand its needs or current behaviors and systems (this is coming from the outside),
excessive pressure is used,
there is overwhelming fear of failure (if no learning curve),
the status quo seems acceptable (we are okay the way we are),
the person initiating the change is not trusted,
the cost/benefit ratio does not seem to justify the effort (e.g. time is not worth the result).
