In 1979, two professors named Kotter and Schlesinger from Harvard Business School wrote an article titled 'Choosing Strategies for Change.' Kotter and Schlesinger11 suggest that there are four major reasons why people resist change: they are afraid of losing something of value; they misunderstand change and its implications; they believe that change does not make sense; or simply they have a low tolerance for change. Almost immediately it became a must-read for business school students and managers experiencing changes in their organizations. Over four decades later, it continues to be one of the most popular and oft-cited articles regarding why people resist change and how managers can try to help people deal with change in a positive way. Kotter and Schlesinger introduced four primary reasons why people struggle with change and six strategies managers can use to help people deal with the change.
