RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
It is difficult for organizations to avoid change, as new ideas promote
growth for them and their members. Change occurs for many reasons such as new staff
roles, increases or decreases in funding, acquisition of new technology, new missions,
vision or goals and to reach new members or clients. Changes can create new
opportunities, but are often met with criticism from resistant individuals within the
group.

Multi-directional skills are essential in this competitive environment

More training programs are required
