Introduction to resistance to change
The concept of resistance to change enlightens the professionals’ or leaders’ unwillingness to adapt the new infrastructure or technologies within the organization’s core by which the development of innovative environments can be restricted. While employees realize that they do not want to change their environment, resistance has ultimately occurred in the organization. Many professionals have also resisted changes because sometimes they have not acquired the prominent visualization about the consequences and purposes of those changes in the organization.
Suggesting ways to overcome the resistance to change
While leaders resist any changes to the organizational environment, various approaches need to be considered to overcome their resistance to changes. Firstly, leaders must communicate and educate their team members by which they can open their minds with the broad dimensions. While the leaders would be able to communicate with their team members and superior professionals, they become incurred various perspectives related to changes, which satisfy themselves to adapt the changes accordingly (Khan et al., 2017). Secondly, leaders must also participate in every event with their team members by which they become aligned with the acceptance, and the collaborative effort would engage people more in the change procedure by eradicating the issues. However, resistance to any changes leads to the employee’s termination from the job, so with participaton in the team activities, they deviate from such effective ideas, influencing them to accept the changes in the organization.
Thirdly, the leader should implement any changes to the organization in several stages instead of focusing on the single-phase implementation by which the team members and superior professionals would be able to incur sufficient knowledge pieces about the purpose of changes (Vos & Rupert, 2018). Deployment with the multiple phases results in reviewing the individual phase from where the professionals would be willing to accept the changes in the organizational environment. Lastly, leaders must also visualize the entire information regarding the changes to the organization to employees by which all of the professionals would be streamlined with the consequences regarding the changes. By visualizing the data to professionals, leaders would accurately showcase their transparency and visualize the improvement areas within the organization, motivating them to overcome resistance to change and accept the changed environment for incurring future benefits.

Social Stratification: In nineteen centuries, people was divided into various status system on the basis of races in Java.
