When change initiators do not have all the information they need to design the change and others have considerable power to resist, the best approach to managing resistance to change is through participation and involvement. This approach allows individuals to have a voice and be part of the change process, which can result in greater buy-in and commitment to the change. It also ensures that all relevant information is considered and incorporated into the change design process. Facilitation and support can also be effective, but may not address the underlying resistance to change that stems from a lack of involvement and participation. Negotiation and rewards, manipulation and cooptation, and explicit and implicit coercion are not recommended approaches as they can damage relationships, reduce trust, and result in negative consequences for both individuals and the organization.
