This is a particular problem for folks who seem to generate lots of ideas. Article generalizes the fact that people don't oppose innovation and change because they're dumb or crazy or just plain mean. Instead, they make their choices based on their experience and judgment and needs. They do this regardless of the magnitude of any possible improvement that change would bring to their organization. More discussion in regard to this topic follows, read the article to find the detailed discussion.
