How to Handle a Team Member Who Resists Change

In this episode of Manager Mondays, Lucas and Luna tackle one of the trickiest challenges for any manager: the employee who digs in their heels when new processes arrive. Lucas breaks down a concrete case from a mid-size logistics firm where a veteran warehouse supervisor resisted a new scheduling software rollout for six months—until his manager tried a specific reframing technique. Lucas and Luna walk through the psychological drivers behind change resistance, why the 'why' matters more than the 'what,' and a three-step intervention that respects the employee's expertise while moving the team forward. They also touch on how to distinguish healthy skepticism from outright obstruction, and the one question that can turn a resistor into an advocate. If you've ever faced crossed arms and a 'we've always done it this way,' this episode gives you a repeatable playbook. #ManagerMondays #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #ChangeManagement #TeamLeadership #ResistanceToChange #PeopleManagement #FirstTimeManager #EmployeeCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplacePsychology #OrganizationalChange #ManagerTips #ConflictResolution #EmployeeEngagement #CommunicationSkills #LogisticsCaseStudy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
