According to the HCI/ICF Building a Coaching Culture for Change Research, “employee resistance” is one of the top three contributors to failed organizational change, which results in dire consequences ranging from lost ROI to cynicism to making it more difficult to lead through mission-critical new changes to come. An important factor in employee resistance is the inability to get their vital voices heard. Since what you see depends on where you sit, input from stakeholders up, down, and across the organization is vital to avoid landmines that can derail even the most necessary and well-planned initiatives.
