From Zone 20 "Membership Energiser"

Something to think about......

RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
There (has been) a lot of discussion on the resistance to change. Many will resonate with the list of excuses quoted below by Dunphy on Organised Change... It’s time for us all to move on and build a strong Rotary... The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands!

“EXCUSES FOR A CLOSED MIND”
It’s never been done before
It’ll never work
We don’t do that kind of thing in our organisation
Not that again
It’s too radical
It has been like that for 15 years
Nothing will ever change it
It will cost too much
It is not my responsibility
Let’s talk about something else
It is impossible
We tried that once before
Yes we do, but not right now.

Resistance to change is world-wide -- but..
“Cause change and lead, accept change and survive, resist change and die.”
Ray Noorda - 1924-2006, technology pioneer, Novell Corporation CEO.
