Why do business leaders resist change? It is easy to see intellectually how change is a vital component of a successful business, but so often strong companies crumble because of a resistance to major change.
So what is it that causes us to keep coming back to the same seat at the meeting, or stay in a work position completely dissatisfied when there might be a better option out there? It’s fear. Fear keeps us content for the time but fails to let us see into the future. What we need are tools to help us fight that fear which hinders our ability to adapt.
Dr. Gary Bradt is a writer and speaker who is passionate about helping leaders adapt to change faster and better. Through his books, speaking, and coaching, Gary has developed a set of tools to help your business adapt and survive.
