Franklin Roosevelt, the American President once said that it "is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead and you find no one there."

As leaders, managers and professionals, have you experienced the feeling of having no one behind you, or alongside you, when you are the change champion of your organisation, despite you having communicated or involved the stakeholders in the change journey.

Why do your employees, and sometimes, even the leadership and management team resist organisational changes? What are the root causes of their resistance, and how can we overcome or mitigate such resistance as change leaders and change champions?

In an increasingly Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) global landscape, individuals leaders and organisation face more complexity, challenges and changes. Being "future-ready" and "change-ready" is a necessity and a competitive advantage for the organisations. The Organisations have to anticipate and be pro-active, to drive and implement change rather than being reactive towards external circumstances.

Change can also bring about positive outcomes in terms of continuous improvement, innovation, transformation, success and growth for the individuals and organisations. As the future becomes more complex and diverse, Leaders and Managers must have the change agility and the ability to inspire, lead and manage change effectively especially the "People Side of Change" to achieve organisational and business goals and success.
