    Area of Science:

    • Organizational Psychology
    • Change Management

    Background:

    • Over half of all organizational changes fail to achieve their objectives.
    • Resistance during change initiatives is a common but often misunderstood phenomenon.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To reframe the understanding of resistance in organizational change.
    • To propose an alternative strategy for managing resistance effectively.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis based on the author's expertise and work, 'Beyond the Wall of Resistance'.
    • Argumentative approach focusing on the nature of resistance and its management.

    Main Results:

    • Resistance is not inherently negative; it stems from a natural self-protection mechanism.
    • The problem lies not in resistance itself, but in the methods used to handle it.

    Conclusions:

    • Organizations should shift from attempting to overcome resistance to embracing it.
    • Adopting an embracing strategy can improve the success rate of organizational changes.
