The implication of change in our personal life is challenging enough. Managing change as a leader can have even greater implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Hostility of Change, Joe Robert Thornton explores all elements of change, including the deep-seated barriers that give rise to resistance. The Hostility Of Change also explores real, sustainable change... and real, sustainable change is a very high bar to reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, you will learn about: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow clarity can be a hidden barrier to change acceptance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe difference between a crisis, an ultimatum, and a 'burning platform'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy improvement is not the same as change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow quiet voices can be disruptive or supportive to the change process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive-aggressiveness and its relationship to change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of compassion to drive change in others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommendations for addressing resistance to change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChange is not a process; change is an emotion. Accepting this principle will take you on a journey that will challenge the traditional approach to change management. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hostility of Change addresses the emotion that accompanies change. The process of change is relatively easy; however, why people don't accept the change is not always so easy. Change often results in emotion demonstrated outwardly, sometimes even in a hostile way. However, change can also invoke a passively hostile resistance, often difficult to detect. This book explores both. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmotions are often present when change is introduced, often overpowering the processes you are attempting to implement. Recognizing, understanding, and leveraging emotions in the change process can have a positive effect on the trajectory of the change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subtitle- \"Breaking Through Deep-Seated Barriers,\" reflects the override of our personal belief system that is necessary before we can begin to accept change. This term is often referred to as \"deep-seeded.\" Deep-seeded almost metaphorically makes more sense, but the correct term is actually \"deep-seated.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep-seated is relevant to the topic of change because the position that people have before they go through change is often driven by deeply entrenched views that have been formed over a long period- to the point that even contrary information may not move people off their position when change is presented. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledging these deep-seated views is vital as you implement any change process. Skipping this step often results in change-resistant responses that sound something like this: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is the way it's always been done.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Things are fine the way that they are.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"If it is not broke, don't fix it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"We tried that before, and it didn't work.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChange is incredibly difficult to manage. However, with the right inspiration, the change process can be improved. The Hostility of Change will reaffirm that your response to change can change change- intentional alliteration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the end, I am writing a book about change, not 'the book' about change. No one can truly write 'the book' because change will continue to happen while the book is being written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI hope that this book helps you get to the ground truth about change and opens your mind to the possibilities of real, sustainable change. I also hope that the examples in the book help unlock new thinking for you in your personal life and as a leader of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to expand your thinking as a leader and become the change-agent you have always aspired to be, this book is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 12, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45687444111462,"sku":"9780578241944","price":53.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/5qgUEo9VJx9780578241944.webp?v=1780458643","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-hostility-of-change-breaking-through-deep-seated-barriers-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
