Providing employees with a list of compelling reasons for the move would most likely help to overcome their resistance. This addresses Kotter's fourth step of creating a vision and strategy that effectively communicate the need for change. By providing a list of reasons for the move, employees can better understand the reasoning behind it and may feel more willing to support the relocation. Additionally, it addresses the first step of creating a sense of urgency by highlighting the importance of the move. Choices A, B, and C do not follow Kotter's model for successful change management, and postponing the moving deadline would not address employees' resistance to the relocation.
