    So You Think Employees Hate Change
    We've all heard it. Employees Hate Change. Do you believe it? I don't. I think employees are getting a bum rap. I think they are being used as an excuse for poor change, poor results, poor communication, poor planning.First of all, have you asked them? No, I don't mean have you asked them if they hate change, I mean, have you asked them what they would like to change? Have
