Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Answer option B is correct.
The most common reason for the failure of change initiatives is that people were not prepared for the change and given time to assimilate the reasons for the change. Failing to communicate a change in strategic direction (C) as the basis for organization changes in and of itself will not lead to failure of a change initiative. Leaders who do not support change (D) do have an influence on employees, but that factor alone is not the most common reason for failure. The absence of a training system (A) may negatively impact the change process, but it is not the most common reason for failure.
