In this essay I am going to show my understanding of the team's resistance to change and how the change could be managed. I will illustrate how I believe that successful adaptation to the changing circumstances depends upon various factors. Some of those factors are: unconscious and conscious group dynamics, anxieties and collective defences, leadership and the way the individual is handling the change in himself. I am going to present some of my early experience of working within the nursery team, which had showed me how hard it may be to accept that the change is needed and that often fulfilling the primary task depends upon that change.

The setting ran sessional care for children under up to five years old in the leisure centre. There are few centres within the town with another nursery in the other centre. In our nursery manager never organised the staff meetings and the lack of it took away the opportunity of discussing the setting's routines and other issues among staff.

die off , but not if we take it wrong . If you skip a day of antibiotics then the ones that haven't died off the first time will become resistant since they already have had that antibiotic used on them . They adapt to taking in that antibiotics and they survive so they are able to reproduce more bacteria that will also be antibiotic resistant. The results on my experiment show the bacteria in a nasty form and if we show the people, im sure they will not want that bacteria to be in there system taking

The Power Of Change “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything” (Shaw). Change occurs all the time.

Change can be both big and small, but no matter the size, it still has a great impact on our lives. Without change, progress cannot be made and our lives cannot be improved. Although
