Rationale 1: Modifying the change and compromising with resisters is a valid strategy.
Rationale 2: Trying to change too much too fast can escalate resistance.
Rationale 3: Abandoning the change is not a viable offer, as the supervisor has indicated that change is needed.
Rationale 4: Overcoming resistance is often necessary for change to occur.
Rationale 5: In some cases, change must proceed despite resistance. Those who can live with the change stay, and those who cannot leave.
