Passive Resistance in Change Processes

Lack of understanding

If employees do not understand why a change is necessary, they often react with rejection. Without a clear “why”, there is a lack of willingness to actively support the change.

Lack of communication

If the reasons for and objectives of a change are not communicated clearly and comprehensibly, uncertainty arises. And uncertainty leads to employees distancing themselves or blocking change.

Loss of trust in leadership

If previous changes have failed or the leadership itself seems unconvinced, trust dwindles. Without trust, there is no motivation to actively participate in the change.

Lack of participation

People want to help shape things. If changes are only imposed from above, employees feel ignored. The feeling of powerlessness often leads to passive resistance.

Fear of loss

The fear of losing status, influence or skills is a strong driver of resistance. Anyone who fears losing value as a result of the change is more likely to block it than support it.

What is Hakomi?

 

What is Hakomi?

A mindfulness-based, body-oriented approach that uses body awareness to reveal unconscious patterns. “Hakomi” means “who you are”—the focus is on exploring the self and transforming inner beliefs.

Where does Hakomi come from?

Developed by Ron Kurtz in the 1970s. It combines mindfulness, modern psychology, bodywork, and systemic thinking.

How does Hakomi work?

Through slowing down and a curious, nonjudgmental awareness. For example, with questions like: “What happens inside me when I allow this thought to arise?”

When is Hakomi helpful?

For recurring patterns, inner blockages, conflicts, or when you feel disconnected from your own values.
