Description:
Resistance management, a leadership skill. If your project involves people, you will face some level of resistance. It might include getting the contributing team aligned with its objectives and vision or requiring a stakeholder or a group to change their behaviour or mindset.

Resistance management from an agility perspective fosters collaboration, engagement, transparency and continuous improvement.
