Leaders have a lot to lose

Fear of change is real.

But it’s not the employees who fear change.

It’s the leaders.

It makes sense 👇

Research shows that a large component of fear of change is fear of loss. And leaders have a lot to lose:

Status, influence, power, respect, high income.

To achieve these things leaders have deprioritized other things.

So, if they lose their position in the company, they also lose their reasons for missing out on other important things in their lives.

Helping large companies undergo strategic changes, organizational change and digital transformations, I see it all the time:

Fear of change is real.

But it’s not the employees who fear change.

It’s the leaders.
