Episode 12: Dying for a Change

For most people changes must be mourned like a death.

The Classic responses of people toward change

Innovators
Early adopters
Early Majority
Late Majority
Laggards (which includes some never)

May be different for different people in different areas of life

Have an honest expectation about change…some people will struggle

Worship wars are a great example. You change the style of worship, that is a huge change. People enjoy what they enjoy

Have your rationale clear as to why you are making a change.

If you can’t explain it clearly, don’t expect people to adjust.

Allow people to share their feelings without casting judgment.

People are not unspiritual if they struggle with change.

Remember grief is a process, and people need time to adjust to a new reality. Handle change personally the way you expect others to deal with change. Don’t let the fear of death keep you from changing.
