Managing Change
Like waves crashing at the shoreline, change is chaotic.
You feel disoriented by the forces pushing and pulling you in all directions.
At times, you catch a glimpse of your destination, but when you try to steady yourself, your feet are swept out from under you. While you cannot hope to control the sea, you can learn to successfully navigate the rough waters.
What is ‘change’ in the workplace?
Any update that modifies how a person does their job.
It doesn’t matter if the change is simple or complex, the desired outcome remains the same: ensuring people adapt to a new way of working. People are the focus of the change management approach and methodology.
