People hate change ...
People hate change . . .
And that’s because people hate change . . .
I want to be sure that you get my point.
People really hate change.
They really, really do.

Once we accept that this is always true, being aware that the fundamental reason for opposing change is emotional and not logical, it becomes a lot easier to act accordingly. As Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister put it in Peopleware, it is frustrating and embarrassing to abandon approaches and methods you have long since mastered, only to become a novice again.
Nonetheless, You never improve if you can't change at all.
