Answer 1

The obstacles/objections leaders face from stakeholders when implementing change within an organization;

The employees don’t have the necessary skills.

The stakeholders may exhibit the Fear of the Unknown or Unfamiliar, (Markham, 2008)

Undue Complexity of the new methodology and technology used in the process of change.

The strategies we can use as a leader to work with stakeholders, remove obstacles, and address objections include;
