It’s incredibly frustrating to join a company as an agent of change only to be rejected by the people who need your help. Here are 8 strategies to use when resistance to change is directed at you.

I am preparing to talk to a large group of bank branch managers about the secrets of resilience. They’re not interested in the basics; years of change and disruption have taught them the fundamentals (remember when the ATM was going to replace all the jobs in financial services).
