Let's get real: If your team is drowning in change projects, feeling fed up, and ready to push back, it's not because they're lazy or "resistant."

The Truth Hurts: Key Findings on Why Teams Are Done with Poorly Planned Change
1. Change Fatigue Is Skyrocketing
It turns out all those "special projects" and changes aren't so special anymore. Over 70% of employees say these endless change initiatives are making it impossible to get real work done. More projects are landing on their plates, but leaders are fumbling the planning, leaving employees to juggle everything with less clarity than ever.
2. Planning? What Planning?
Let's be blunt: Only a third of the people in this survey felt their leaders knew how to pick or plan projects that could succeed. Instead, leaders often propose timelines and scopes that are more fantasy than reality, leaving employees to scramble when things inevitably go sideways.
3. Your Team's Burned Out—And Quietly Checking Out
Think burnout isn't a problem? Think again. A whopping 77% of those who face constant change say they're fried. From low morale to lost trust, to full-on "quiet quitting," where people mentally check out, the human cost of this change chaos is hitting hard.

Get Real with Timelines: People are juggling a lot already—don't toss in a surprise deadline that derails their ability to nail everything else on their plate.
Listen to Your People: They know what's up, so ask for feedback and acknowledge the work they're putting in.
