THE
LINES OF RESISTANCE
ASSEMBLED
AND ARTICULATED BY RTD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REASONS,
EXCUSES FOR RESISTING CHANGE, ANY CHANGE
(Find out why bright ideas have always remained
bright ideas.)
THAT'S
NOT INVENTED HERE.
YOU
HAVE NO HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE.
(THINKING)
YOU CAN’T ARGUE WITH OUR PAST SUCCESS.
WE’VE
ALWAYS DONE IT THIS WAY BEFORE.
THAT’S
DEFINITELY AGAINST COMPANY POLICY.
NOBODY’S
DOING THAT IN THE INDUSTRY.
OUR
CUSTOMERS ARE HAPPY WITH OUR SERVICE.
(THINKING)
OUR CUSTOMERS WILL STILL BUY EVEN WITH OUR
POOR SERVICE.
THAT
GOAL IS OUTRAGEOUS AND UNACHIEVABLE!
I
ALREADY KNOW THAT.
WE’VE
TRIED THAT ONE BEFORE.
WE’VE
GOT NO BUDGET TO DO THAT.
HEY,
WE'VE ALWAYS HIT OUR SALES TARGET.
THERE
ARE MORE URGENT PROJECTS/PROBLEMS TO ATTEND
TO.
NO
COMPANY HAS SUCCEEDED IN DOING THAT.
WE'RE
ALWAYS BETTER THAN OUR COMPETITOR.
(THINKING)
I’LL DO THIS ONLY BECAUSE MY BOSS SAYS
SO.
YES,
MY GROUP IS COMMITTED, BUT JOE’S GROUP……
YOU
HAVE TO PROVE IT TO ME WITH RESULTS.
SHOW
ME THE MONEY!
(THINKING)
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR BUSINESS?
YOU’RE
JUST NEW HERE.
YOU’RE
JUST AN ORDINARY EMPLOYEE.
WHAT’S
IN IT FOR ME?
WILL
I HAVE TO TAKE A PAY CUT?
(THINKING)
WHAT’S THIS? ANOTHER FLAVOR OF THE MONTH?
(THINKING)
MY BOSS WILL NOT LIKE THIS.
WE
CAN’T CHANGE CULTURE, THAT’S TAKES
FOREVER.
(THINKING)
MY RIVAL WILL SHINE WITH THIS PROJECT.
WILL
I LOSE MY JOB?
I
HAVE NO TIME FOR THAT.
(THINKING)
OH OH, ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE SUGAR-COATED DOWNSIZING
SCHEMES....
WILL
THAT MEAN MORE WORK FOR ME?
UNLESS
SOCIETY CHANGES, THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.
UNLESS
THE GOVERNMENT IMPROVES, THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.
(THINKING)
WHILE HE REMAINS CEO, THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.
I
WILL NOT GET THE CREDIT FOR THIS….JUST
ALL THE HARD WORK.
DON’T
ASK ME, I JUST WORK HERE.
YES,
BUT THERE ARE THINGS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL.
YES,
BUT I’M ABOUT TO RETIRE.
YES,
BUT I'M MOVING ON TO ANOTHER DIVISION.
YES,
BUT WE’VE NO ONE TO SPARE FOR THAT.
(THINKING)
THIS PROJECT WILL PROVE MINE A FAILURE.
THAT’S
NOT PART OF MY JOB DESCRIPTION.
I
DON’T WANT TO CHANGE CAREER.
(THINKING)
I DON’T WANT TO BE PROMOTED.
THAT’S
NOT OUR CORE BUSINESS.
WE’VE
INVESTED A LOT IN THE CURRENT SYSTEM.
(THINKING)
YOUR IDEA IS GOOD BUT I WON'T GET ANY CREDIT
FOR THIS.
(THINKING)
YOUR IDEA IS GOOD BUT YOU'D GET PROMOTED FOR
THIS.
(THINKING)
YOUR IDEA IS GOOD BUT NOT THE WAY YOU LOOK.
