Take the free PRI SnapshotWhy Polite Resistance Matters
Polite resistance isn’t loud. It’s quiet friction that stalls progress:
-
Agreement without follow-through
-
Delayed decisions
-
A culture where challenge feels unsafe
It frustrates leaders, drains teams, and slows results.
Reducing it builds happier teams, stronger trust, and better outcomes for communities.

About me
I’ve spent over 25 years in hierarchical organisations - first in the military, now as a Programme Director in local government. Again and again, I have seen progress stall, not through lack of effort, but because of polite resistance.
That experience led me to create ELVO and the Polite Resistance Index (PRI)Â - practical tools to help leaders see resistance clearly and take steps to overcome it.
