Change... And How You Deal With It.

There is an old cliche in business that change is good. Wouldn’t it be nice of it were just that simple? In business, just as in life….change is inevitable. Whether it
is good or bad, depends on what you do with it.

You can prepare for change all your life, but the moment it happens will still take you by storm. Change is going to cause some sort of fear and doubt because change makes things different and different naturally makes people uneasy.

So, what are you going to do with change when it confronts you and your organization? Jump on it! Be proactive and do everything you can to ease that fear and doubt as soon as you can. Remember, a strong culture runs much deeper than any individual or idea but it will take action to remind everyone of that.

First, ease that fear and doubt caused by change and then take a look around. Pay close attention to what is going on after change occurs. Who is stepping up and thriving on this change? What windows of opportunity have opened up now? And, most importantly, what actions need to take place to take advantage of those opportunities? New leaders and innovation will emerge, but don’t miss them because you are not paying attention.
