11 hrs confidence:
covert resistance Explanation: The use of 'onderhuids' implies that the resistance is not visible or explicit (cf. 'overt resistance'). Another option would be 'implicit resistance'. See also the definition below. Visibility of resistance Sometimes resistance is out in the open, but more often it starts out in a more underhand, covert way. Covert resistance Covert resistance is deliberate resistance to change, but done in a manner that allows the perpetrators to appear as if they are not resisting. This may occur, for example, through sabotage of various kinds. http://changingminds.org/disciplines/change_management/resis... |
