Leading change in any domain is a challenge. Hurdles present themselves in numerous ways including the following 8 common obstacles:

Current culture
Existing attitudes and systems
Time and resource pressures
Effective communication
Variability in people
Manager proximity
Individual leadership effectiveness
Maintaining focus and attention
