Costs and Risks of Change Resistance

Almost all studies show resistance is identified as the top obstacle to successful change.

The following factors involved in the cost of resistance:
"...- delayed project or initiative
     - project abandonment
     - reduced productivity
     - greater absenteeism
     - loss of valued employees
     - added financial cost and failure risk for the initiative
     - inefficient processes
     - unachieved goals and poor outcomes
     - history of change failures..."
