In a farm family business there are opportunities every day where disagreements happen. Many times the disagreement occurs because one person wants to change something, move in a different direction, or add or drop an aspect of an enterprise. Conflict can arise when one person digs in their heals and resists.
Some individuals however are more able to change than others.
Some people dealt with change easier when times were more prosperous or when they were younger. Whatever the situation, it might be useful to look at how people adjust to change. Understanding this might help you plan your next strategy when you approach your partner, family member, neighbour, or community group. The human experience consists of matching our capabilities against the challenges we face. We seek this kind of balance because it makes us feel that things are predictable and thus easier to manage.
