How to Get Your Employees to Accept and Embrace Change
In this episode, Glenn Sharp tackles one of the most common leadership challenges: teams that resist change.
Glenn responds to a real question from a client in Dayton who leads a group that consistently pushes back on new ideas. Every change is met with skepticism, nitpicking, and negativity—and it’s holding the team back.
You’ll learn why resistance to change is normal, why it doesn’t mean your team is broken, and how leaders can guide people through change without losing momentum.
Key topics include:
Why results come from behaviors, and behaviors come from thinking
How thought habits shape how teams respond to change
The Wheelbarrow Exercise, and how context changes perception
Why leaders must control how change is introduced and discussed
The “What If” exercise, a simple way to spark innovation and buy-in
The Change Curve, and why discomfort is part of growth
How great managers stay steady when resistance shows up
Glenn emphasizes that teams don’t embrace change by accident—leaders must create the environment where change makes sense and feels manageable.
The episode closes with a preview of Episode 17, which focuses on burnout and how leaders can recognize and prevent it.
