Change Management

Change Management – The banana principle

change management

Change is constant. – we are constantly amazed when we work with companies and businesses about their resistance to change.

People who enjoy watching TV stars like Madonna, Prince & the UK model Katie Price constantly change and refine their image and move forward always seem so reluctant to move forwards and change anything in their working patterns.

We use a passage taken from “The Complete Negotiator”  by Gerard Neirenberg who explains change as follows:

Take a banana and put it in your pocket or bag for a few weeks and carry on with your normal activities.

What happens to the banana?

It changes without you doing anything

The point- change happens – regardless of what people like or want.
