We must understand that we all are diverse and react differently in similar situations. Have you ever identified a need to change so that you can move ahead? If so, why is changing so hard?
A physiological fact is that our neural system is designed to favor the path with least resistance, created by our thoughts and actions prior. Repeating behaviors establish neural pathways. This will assure that we act similarly next time. In fact, this is the reason we feel uncomfortable initially while accommodating a change.
Gender is one of the factors that determine how we respond to suggestions, feedback and change. "Emotional quotient" comes into picture here. Marshall Goldsmith explains how the resistance to change varies in its stages between men and women.
So, let's learn the three different stages of resistance to change in men and women, followed by the techniques to overcome it to reach heights.
Learning Objectives:
Explain the difficulty in accommodating a change initially.
Describe the three different stages of showing resistance to change in both men and women.
Articulate the methods to overcome the resistance when trying to welcome a valid change.
