Immunity to change

There are identified three necessary ingredients in the book: Head, Heart and Head. The extent to which a person is connected to all three will almost certainly determine the extent to which that person will be able to achieve and then sustain the significant changes that are desired
The challenge is to establish and then sustain a connection with each of the three necessary ingredients in proper balance with each other. The head and heart" work simultaneously to engage both thinking and feeling throughout change initiatives, and the "hand" implies the importance of doing what the mind perceives and the heart wants s to be done.

I want to make another point; the word “Change” means to cause to be different.  So one can make a change and only at the end of the day one will realize if it was worth doing it. So to change does not mean to improve, so people are not convinced if at the end of their changing proceeds they are going to be satisfied and proud of it (If not carefully thought and planned-Heart&Head&Hand). The steps that you or the company will make in order to change may result in very positive outcome but at the same time it may result in negative results. This is the reason that it is difficult for people to overcome the immunity that we have toward change, as it means to risk. So people feel more comfortable in the position that they are, and they fear to change. But even if they fear to change, it is a learning opportunity and consequently, even after failing they have an learning experience from their mistake that they did not have before.

I advice that people should dare to change, and it will be better for them if they dare logically. Because they succeed and be extraordinary when they dare logically ( as the authors quote: "perception without conception is blind"- Kant)

    between saying and doing there is a big hole.
