Training Industry Magazine - September/October 2021 - 17
Biologically wired to see any change as
potentially threatening, people will assume
the worst until shown otherwise.
The global pandemic has driven unprecedented
change that will unfold for years. Learning
professionals have already helped their
organizations through waves of change, but
more are yet to come as people reunite and
reimagine how work gets done.
Given that people naturally resist change, this
imperative is no small undertaking. People's
resistance has manifested as exhaustion and
anxiety. Shifting to survival mode and online
work has taken a toll on employees, who feel
the strain of trying to connect and collaborate
with colleagues from afar. The likely return to
office spaces doesn't necessarily ease worries,
especially as workers now favor hybrid work
and are willing to seek it elsewhere.
The good news is that humans are wired
to survive challenging circumstances and
grow to become their best selves. With that
in mind, learning professionals are uniquely
positioned to help their organizations give
people the skills needed to adapt and thrive.
By understanding the human brain, learning
leaders can help their organizations drive
meaningful behavioral change.
HOW THE BRAIN GETS
ACTIVATED BY CHANGE
Change is a journey, not an event. The reason
50-70% of change initiatives fail is that typical
approaches to managing change don't take
into account human biology and that people
are wired to resist change. But once learning
professionals understand the four brain
structures activated by change, they can
mitigate their effects, increasing people's
adaptability and resilience.
The Amygdala Sees Change
as Potential Danger
Connected to all major sensory nerves, the
amygdala is designed to detect threats and
launch the fight-flight-freeze response to
help people survive. It is constantly scanning
the environment looking for any change that
signals an impending threat. Biologically wired
to see any change as potentially threatening,
people will assume the worst until shown
otherwise. The survival instinct is so strong that
people are influenced by other people's fear. In
organizations, a few people spreading " doom
and gloom " perspectives can amp up the entire
group's fear and distress.
Changing Locations or Teams
Activates the Entorhinal Cortex
The entorhinal cortex serves as our internal GPS,
making mental maps of physical surroundings
and social networks to help people successfully
navigate them. Many workplace changes, like
