Resistance

• Sarah, a long-time employee, is given an Android and told to keep it with her at all times should the company need to contact her. Why might Sarah resist this change? What impact might the direct style of communication, if used by Sarah's boss, have on Sarah? How could this message be communicated in another, better way? What does this example tell you about the role of communication in businesses when resistance is involved?
• Describe a time you demonstrated resistance at work. Why did you resist? What was the outcome?
• How did you shape your argument to the needs of your audience?
