Description

Change is the only constant, as they say, and organizations are no different. When change occurs, people respond in very distinct ways – whether they are aware of it or not. As leaders, approaching change as if everyone responds the same leads to ineffective change management and less-than-optimal outcomes. Understanding the different reactions to change for individuals, teams, leaders, and organizations is the first step in understanding the impact of a change situation and setting a plan for effectively managing change.


An excellent starting point, Change Reaction, is an effective learning tool for understanding your team members' different personal reactions to change. The 24-item instrument helps individuals learn about their typical response to identify and improve and ways to manage change effectively.

How it works

Change Reaction is designed to help individuals identify their typical response to organizational change and to better understand the three typical change reactions. Once participants understand the three reactions to change, they will know how to deal with these reactions from themselves and others. After all, it's vital to remember how others:

  • Tend to have a natural tendency to move toward or support change.
  • Are noncommittal and typically move away from change.
  • Can typically move against change by resisting it and creating resistance to change in others.

Awareness of one’s reactions to change is the first step in dealing with any organizational change. Once an individual is aware of his or her typical reactions to change, he or she may then make a conscious effort to use functional behaviors that help him or her adapt to it. Change Reaction helps individuals become aware of their typical reaction to organizational change and identify ways to manage it effectively.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this workshop, participants will hold the knowledge to:

  • Determine one's typical response to change: resistant, neutral, or supportive.
  • Explore the behaviors that characterize the three responses to change.
  • Identify action steps one can take to embrace and foster change.

Uses and applications

Change Reaction works well as a standalone instrument as well as an effective component in any change management training program. As a management training instrument, Change Reaction may be used to present the important aspects of change theory. In addition, it can be used to raise individual consciousness about people's responses to change, to plan more effective behavior, and to improve organizational support systems.

As an organization development diagnostic tool, Change Reaction has multiple uses, including:

  • Surveying norms regarding change.
  • Generating "force field" analyses of the forces impacting the change process.
  • Forming the basis for an educational intervention that will provide employees with information about themselves, change, and effects on the system as a whole.
