title: The storm before the qualm.
abstract: More than half of all changes in organizations fail. But there is hope, suggests Rick Maurer, author of ¿Beyond the Wall of Resistance.¿ He says that it isn't resistance itself--since resistance is nothing more than people's need to protect themselves from harm--but how you handle it that creates the problem. Here in this exclusive excerpt, he argues that you shouldn't try to overcome resistance, but embrace it.
