Skip, Great job on this one. It's not change, it's "change" programs. Yes!

Thanks so much for mentioning my manifesto here. Looks like you really focus on the same types of challenges. I'll have to add you to my blog roll and take a look around.

Best,

Mike

Glad to see more research coming out on this. Last fall my company put together four short online learning modules (3 - 6 mins each) on why change is so difficult and what can be done to bring it about easier.

We never did set them up to charge for them, so they're still available for free. Here's the link: www.workplace-excellence.com/got-change

Great post, Skip. My way of phrasing is that people like change just fine if they have some say in what changes and when and understand why. What they don't like is having change done TO them.
