Overview
It’s important to understand the psychology of change in order to effectively manage it. Change occurs at different levels; societal, organizational and personal. It has several stages of transition; which is why we often refer to change as a “journey.” Individuals will pass through each phase in order to move forward and will move on at their own pace. Everyone deals with change differently. That’s why organizational change is a big deal. There are feelings of loss, grief and anger for staff and a responsibility for leadership to lead their people through the journey. As a leader you will need to prepare and orchestrate your company’s change journey to ensure its successful execution.
