It is either go forward, change, and grow or be stagnant, go backward, and die. That is what happens if we do not make the changes that are necessary for our companies or for our lives. In most companies, the top obstacle to a successful change program is employee resistance to change at all levels, including frontline personnel, middle management, and senior management.
