So I took this training about sexual harassment etc.
There were some good general tips for managers confronting these challenging situations:
1) Address it quickly
2) Discuss it privately
3) Specify the problem behaviors
4) Get commitment that it won't happen again
5) Document what occurred
It's not rocket science, but thought this was useful guidance.
Unfortunately, people don't always behave appropriately, but hopefully, individuals and society as a whole can learn to do much better. ;-)

Overcoming Resistance To Change
So have you heard of the 20-50-30 Rule when it comes to change management?
20% of the people are open and friendly to change--they are your early adopters.
50% are fence sitters--and they hold a wait and see attitude.
30% are resisters--these are the people that will be the roadblocks to change.
_____
Total 100%
Some will resist openly and loudly. Other will disguise their resistance in a politically correct way. And finally some may work subversively to block change.
The keys to overcoming the resistance is by working through the head, heart, and hands model, helping people to understand the following:
Head (Intellectual) - What is changing.
Heart (Emotional) - Why it's changing (and what's in it for me--WIIFM).
Hands (Behavioral) - How is it changing.
This means changing the mindset, motivating people, and shaping behavior to effect change.
Change and resistance to change are facts of life, but how we approach it can either mean failure or amazing transformation. ;-)

Overcoming Resistance To Change

Actions Speak Louder Than Deals
Similar to the Movie, "The Stoning of Soraya M."--only this is real life footage.
Highly graphic...beware.
A 17-year old girl ambushed by crowd of men, savagely kicked and beaten, and stoned to death with a large cinderblock finally slammed onto her head.
All the while, the men are taking photos and videos with their smartphones.
And playing with her skirt up and down in some perverted way while the blood is gushing out of her skull.
Supposedly for loving the "wrong" boy.
Who does something like this?
Can some people be so religiously brainwashed as to think this can be "right"?
Where are people's inner conscience and moral compass?
As ISIS beheads and burns alive their opponents, Boko Haram hacks off people's limbs and takes young girls as sex slaves, Al Qaeda conducts countless suicide bombings, Syria gases their own people, and Iran outmaneuvers the West toward a nuclear bomb to annihilate their enemies...we had better take very seriously what we are dealing with.
Shouldn't any deal we make seek to genuinely change these behaviors rather than make a deal for deal's sake?
We need to wake up before the warnings that we are witnessing from afar become lessons here at home.
We need a genuine and verifiable peace--oh G-d let it be!
