Where I work one of the things we are reviewed on is "openness to change". I do feel at times that it can be a stick to be us with as if you don't necessarily agree with the change you are seen as being unwilling to change or not progressive.
My response is usually this "I am quite open to change, but it has to be the right change". I have seen too many changes in my working like which turned out to be a backward step. Usually instigated by a "new broom" wanting to make a mark!
Oh no that sounds oppressive. I'd hate that!
