Change almost always includes some form of resistance. Butterflies break through their cocoon in order to be free. Before birds can fly, they peck through their shell. Resistance can come in various shapes and sizes, and with change, leaders are promised a portion of resistance.

However, all too often higher-level leaders promote individuals based solely on performance. Team members are placed in positions of leadership yet have not been offered previous leadership training.
