re: Why do new managers always come in and want to change everything?

Sometimes, managers step in to what some would describe as a bad culture. Management would say it. The employees would say it. Managers make changes but the employees that admit the culture is bad are the ones fighting the changes the most. Its a pretty common theme.

Employees will regularly ask for input in to these changes without the ability to see the big picture. Even so, a good manager will accept this input. However, the input is generally negative in nature and solve no problems. When a solution is presented, they fight it, even tough they were given input.

Managers that create this sort of environment need to step away. A manager that is willing to deal with this sort of culture and take steps toward changing it are valuable.

Most of the time, if you are questioning the changes, you are not giving it a real chance to succeed, even if its best for you and the company. Keep an open mind and give it a chance. Do your part. If it fails, it won't be because the employees didn't try.
