Change Management – The banana principle
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
