Change Is Hard — Don’t Get Discouraged and Keep At It

I spent several hours in a meeting today trying to convince some of my faculty colleagues of the need to make some pretty significant changes in one of our courses.  I faced a fair bit of resistance to my ideas.  Needless to say, I was a bit frustrated.  Then I came across the graphic from Online PM Courses.  It explained in exquisite detail what we went through in our meeting.

I ber you’ve experienced this curve in your change efforts.  Keep it in mind.  You may start off on a negative footing, but if you persist, you’ll get on the upswing and end up with commitment.
