Involucrar a los equipos desde el inicio no solo mitiga estos problemas, sino que también fomenta el compromiso y la colaboración, facilitando una transición más efectiva y positiva. No involucrar a los equipos en cambios importantes puede tener varias consecuencias negativas: 1) Desconfianza y Resistencia: no se valora su opinión, lo que puede afectar su compromiso. 2) Dudas y Miedos: provocar ansiedad en el equipo y reduce la moral. 3) Baja Moral y Productividad: se traduce en una disminución de la productividad y un ambiente de trabajo negativo. 4) Objetivos Confusos: el equipo puede perder el enfoque y no saber cómo contribuir al éxito de la nueva dirección. 5) Pérdida de Talento: por la insatisfacción y la falta de motivación
