Like Jeanne, I wonder to what kind of bureaucracy you are referring.
Anyway, there are lots of reasons to resist change:
- don't know whether results will actually be better
- failing with a widely accepted process is safer than failing with a new process
- don't know whether I can learn the things I have to relearn
- don't know whether I will like the change in my role
- I actually have data that tells me the change is to the worse
This resistance is one of the main things a good change agent needs to deal with productively.
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus
