To the comfortable, change is threatening.
To the confident, change is opportunity.

(The reverse Nike effect!) • Dragging the feet • Pretending to be ignorant— “oh if only I knew that was what youmeant!” • Withholding key information • Not taking action when action could be taken to prevent change from being successful - A awful long list.
