Leaders can identify change resistance by observing several signs, such as:
- Low Morale: A noticeable drop in employee morale can indicate resistance. - Increased Absenteeism: Employees may avoid work to escape the stress associated with change. - Decreased Productivity: Resistance often results in a decline in productivity as employees may not fully engage with the new processes. - Negative Feedback: Listening to employee feedback, both formal and informal, can reveal resistance.
