We found an inspiring article, Leading Change from the Middle, in which Dr. Grant writes about the tug of war between those who want change and those who don’t.
When change meets conflict, there is temptation to force the change and ignore the conflict. Dr. Grant suggests finding the space to meet with those who resist.
Making space for people to talk, and remaining curious about the reasons for resistance comes from appreciating the unique Strength Lens we all bring.
We care about your success!
