Middle managers resist new processes. How do you overcome their concerns and drive change effectively?
When an organization introduces new processes, middle managers often play a pivotal role in the transition. They are the bridge between upper management's strategic vision and the employees who execute it. However, they may resist change due to various concerns such as fear of the unknown, loss of control, or increased workload. To drive change effectively, it's crucial to understand and address these concerns through strategic conflict management.
