Broomstick Demonstration

When two sides polarize about a change, pushing for it and against it at the same time, the change will become difficult and unmanageable. This activity demonstrates this concept and shows participants how increasing driving forces for change rather than simply removing resistance can be a positive and almost revolutionary experience. Contributed by M.K. Key, Blair Nickle, and Caroline Portis. Objectives: To provide an example of Lewin' s Force Field Analysis To help participants see the differences between driving and restraining forces To facilitate overcoming or weakening restraining forces in order to reach a desired state Group Size: Any size Time Required: Approximately 30 minutesVanGundy is the author of 'Broomstick Demonstration', published 2003 under ISBN 9780787970215 and ISBN 0787970212.
