With any real change in an organisation there will be some who are left behind and some who feel they have lost out. Anticipating who these people will be and offering them care before the change takes place is not only the best way of honouring their disagreement, but also of preventing them from derailing the change. In many organisations, and especially the Church, change is held back because a few people hold the leadership to ransom. Or else real change is never even considered out of fear of this backlash.
Hit the Ground Kneeling, p58
(and I like the phrase: 'honouring their disagreement')
