- Most organisatons will encounter resistance to change, whether the change is perceived by employees as impacting them in a positive or negative way. Resistance can take many forms, it can be overt or covert, as well as active or passive. Organisational leaders cannot control the world changing around them, but they should try to understand employee groups within a change and move them quickly towards understanding resistance and acceptance of the change.
Employee Groups involved in a Change Journey
There are three groups of employees in any change management journey: ‘Advocates’, ‘Observers’ and ‘Rebels’. Each group will react differently to organisational change and will have different levels of resistance.
~ Advocates: They tend to embrace and lead change within the organisation.
~ Observers: They will monitor the ‘Advocates’ and assess if the change is actually benefiting them.
~ Rebels: They tend to resist change blindly, even if the change is to their benefit.
“Nothing negatively impacts organisation performance quicker than employees who resist change and who believe that the way they work today is the way they will work tomorrow” ~ Peter F Gallagher

Thanks Peter F, practical change management insights explained with clarity, humour and insights from a change management expert.
Refreshing to see in t he UK and beyond...
Loved the quote, brilliant.
"So, the what about the REBELS? You have got to love them. Why? Because they take longer, they take more effort and they are always there"
I think the biggest rebel are British leaders...
Great and practical insights into organisational change management resistance. Love the three groups, love the how you tell the story about REBELs resisting every business enhancement legitimately. Fantastic insights. Keep going Peter F...
Great video and I have seen Peter cover this topic covered in more details, I love the REBEL analogy. I was trained by Peter on a lean change practitioner training course in Nigeria. Peter came highly recommended for the corporate office in the Netherlands and was part of the organization effectiveness team deploying business improvement globally. He also provided me with coaching on my project (change management; change management framework, change readiness assessment and sponsor coaching, project management; scoping opportunities, business benefits, stakeholder engagement and risk management) and I still use these skills in managing my team today.
Like it: Advocates - Observers - REBELs. Please where I see this Keynote live?
I understand this is for the purposes on STATIC PRESENTATION SKILLS probably to test you skills in non-stop speaking. However, I love the REBELs story, not sure resistance to change can be portrayed any better...
REBELs and British business leaders/or leaderless UK businesses
@WangFang, hard to understand why the UK has nearly the lowest productivity figure of the G7 or is it.
