Another way of looking at "resistance to change" that is very useful to
consultants is to translate the phrase into "I'm using an ineffective
method". This moves the problem to you from the organization, and
motivates you to do something different and better.
The same idea applies to a "learning disability" in a child. This implies
the teacher can't do anything. If it is translated into "teaching
disability", the teacher is now responsibile for doing something
different, something more effective for this child.
