The document discusses resistance to change from different perspectives. It explores viewing resistance through an "old power" lens, where change is planned and resistance is overcome, versus a "new power" lens, where resistance is inevitable and should be embraced. The roles of change agents are discussed from both perspectives, with the new power view emphasizing creating conditions for transformational conversations and reflecting together. Various quotes on topics like planned change, resistance indicators, and rejection are also presented.

scarcity, but information is
available in abundance and
can only be limited by
artificial rules and laws,
such as copyrights and

Helen’s perspective on resistance to change

Helen’s perspective on resistance:

32. #qmicro
Let’s think about “resistance” in old/new power terms

33. #qmicro
• Change can be planned
and managed through a
rigorous process
• Resistance is a force to
overcome
• Resistance prevents
change
• Change agents must
diagnose, manage and/or
overcome resistance
• Resisters can otherwise be
known as “laggards”,
“blockers”, “in denial”

“The role of the change agent is to recognise the
causes of resistance and address each one. If this is
not done, then the change will be much harder to
implement successfully and may not succeed at all”

• Change results from
connections and interactions
stimulating different
viewpoints, shaping how
people think about things
• Resistance is an inevitable
consequence of a complex
change process
• Resistance should be
embraced and rolled with

1. Create the conditions for transformational
conversations by asking questions that are focussed on
future possibilities, by inviting diversity into the system
and by being welcoming
2. Create opportunities for everyone to express their
views, spot opportunities and build on each other’s
ideas
3. Create ways for people to reflect together to find
meaning, understanding and shared purpose in the
change

“Papers that are more likely to contend against
the status quo are more likely to find an
opponent in the review system—and thus be
rejected —but those papers are also more
likely to have an impact on people across the
system, earning them more citations when
finally published”

Who am I?
This man could be my chance!
Why should I save his hide?
Why should I right this wrong
When I have come so far
And struggled for so long?
If I speak, I am condemned.
If I stay silent, I am damned!
I am the master of hundreds of workers.
They all look to me.
How can I abandon them?
How would they live
If I am not free?
If I speak, they are condemned.
If I stay silent, I am damned!
Who am I?
Can I condemn this man to slavery
Pretend I do not feel his agony
This innocent who bears my face
Who goes to judgement in my place
Who am I?
Can I conceal myself for evermore?
Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
And must my name until I die
Be no more than an alibi?
Must I lie?
How can I ever face my fellow men?
How can I ever face myself again?
My soul belongs to God, I know
I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope when hope was gone
He gave me strength to journey on
[He unbuttons his shirt to reveal the
number tattooed to his chest]
And so Javert, you see it's true
That man bears no more guilt than you!
Who am I?
