Finding Strengths at Work

Finally, here are some exercises that encourage you to identify strengths in health care providers who are resisting recent changes to their health care system. It is easy to see the resistance or barriers to change in these examples. What you want to look for instead are any signs of desire, ability, reasons, need, or steps toward change -- DARN CATs -- that suggest strengths that might help these providers overcome the challenges created by practice change. Providers can have some of these strengths even when they initially seem quite resistant to change.
