“Competence is the enemy of change! Competent people resist change. Why? Because change threatens to make them less competent. And competent people like being competent. That’s who they are, and sometimes that’s all they’ve got…Do you work for a competent company? A company in which people are hired because they’ve done a certain job before, in which the upward path is slow and the sideways path is non exisistent? Such companies are especially frustrating to the internal (or the external) change agent…In the face of change, the competent are helpless. Change means a temporary threat to their competence.” – Seth Godin
