Sometimes you’re clear about a change that needs to happen, but team members might resist that change. It doesn’t make sense. You understand why and how the change is required, but team members are resisting that change in perhaps an illogical or unreasonable way.

In this episode, Kevin and Brad discuss what to do when your team resists change, and we refer to Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, which is listed below.

1- Create Urgency. The first step is to create a sense of urgency about the need for change.
2- Put A Team Together.
3- Develop Vision and Strategies.
4- Communicate the Change Vision.
5- Remove Obstacles.
6- Set Short-Term Goals.
7- Keep the Momentum.
8- Make The Change Stick.
