Are your long-tenured employees blocking performance? Here’s how real leaders respond.

Every organisation has them…long-standing employees (“lifers”) who have built their personal reputation and perceived value on a deep knowledge of the business.

They’ve also built a power base using this knowledge that they’re reluctant to surrender… and they won't do that without a fight.

If you're brought into an organisation with a mandate for change, then making that change is exactly what you have to do. Sometimes, though, the lifers aren't really inclined to help.

We’ve produced a number of episodes over the years on change resistance, and it may be worth your while to go back and explore some of them.

Just remember:

The people who built the house can't renovate it;
No Noise = No Change; and
You WILL have to shoot a hostage (metaphorically speaking)

You can even explore how to read the play from your boss… When the CEO says he wants culture change, does he really mean it?!

In this episode, I address specifically how to handle the lifers, whose driving instinct will be to resist any change, and bring down the leader who’s attempting to implement it!
