    Every change effort encounters unavoidable roadblocks. Fortunately, many of these challenges are predictable, and all can be tackled. In this module, you’ll learn how to anticipate the most common barriers to change, such as influential team members who discourage action, critical skill or confidence gaps, and structural or systemic hindrances to progress.
