Change hurts!

The hurting is not the woe-is-me kind of hurt, that executives tend to dismiss as an affliction of the weak and sentimental, but the actual physical and psychological discomfort....and...brain pictures prove it.

Change_hurtsWatching different areas of the brain light up in response to specific thoughts has brought a new understanding to the corporeal mechanics of psychology in general and to our response to change in particular.  These advances are bringing a much-needed hard foundation of science to a leadership challenge that has long seemed hopelessly soft and poorly defined: change management.

Also see the Fast Company article "Change or Die" here:

And the Booz-Allen article "The Neuroscience of Leadership" here:

If these break up as the one in my prior comment did, just do a Google search on the article titles. They are both excellent about resistance to change and how change hurts.
