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; andYou 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!————————FREE QUIZ: I’ve developed a 3-question quiz that’ll give you a free personalized podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 👉 Doors are open for Leadership Beyond the Theory.
