CHANGE
Employees typically respond to work changes by blocking their growth. This resistance tends to be born out of a fear of the unknown. As a manager, your role is not only to be a scout, but also to be a guide. Reduce your employee's fear of the unfamiliar and encourage their acceptance of change by anticipating their reactions and gaining their cooperation :
1) Implement the changes slowly
2) Give staff members adequate lead time as well as time to assimilate the changes.
3) Provide reassurance.
4) Plan the changes with your employees and reward the results of their new actions.
