In business, resistance to change is one of the main reasons behind the 70% failure rate in change management initiatives. Fear of the unknown, perceived loss of control, and comfort with the status quo are just a few of the factors that contribute to this resistance. Additionally, concerns about competence, attachment to the past, mistrust in change agents, and social pressure often prevent individuals and teams from embracing new ways of working. These barriers can make change feel impossible, leading to stalled progress and wasted resources.
