Explanation: 1. Having an open and trusting relationship with staff will help to reduce resistance to change.
2. Focusing on parts and being unable to see the whole picture can result in territoriality.
3. Staff will not be innovative if managers over-direct, over-observe, or over-report.
4. Staff with hidden agendas or motives are barriers to change and should not be ignored.
