Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mark's resistance to change is likely due to his fear of losing control. He has been working on the project for two years and has likely developed a sense of ownership over it. The new CEO's different management style and threat of replacing him may lead Mark to feel like he is losing control over the project.
