Breaking Through Status Quo

Susan Stutzel

Status quo can be very useful and it’s all around us. In fact, organizational equilibrium happens naturally. In addition, it provides a comfortable work environment and is efficient. So how can it be so bad? When conditions change, status quo is no longer useful and organizational balance must be reset. But human nature isn't so logical about letting go of old ways. In fact, we are driven to hold on to previous beliefs and practices long after they are helpful. Firm leaders must recognize the human element when implementing change, including objections, pushback and resistance. This presentation describes how to break through status quo from a human and organizational perspective
