TAKE CONTROL OF CHANGE

To say we are living in a time of change is an understatement. In reality, we live in an age of “hyper-change” where technological, social, cultural, economic and political changes take place at warp speed. For today’s organizations, change takes the form of restructuring, mergers, partnering, introduction of new technologies, redefined work responsibilities, realigned workplace relationships, higher performance expectations, new products and services, revised missions, and dramatic shifts in corporate cultures. In this breathtaking environment, organizations and the people that work in them are struggling to cope – and not always successfully. Employees become overwhelmed trying to meet greater demands with fewer resources. Managers burn out under the constant pressure to implement change while maintaining performance. Stress, conflict, personal turmoil and organizational failure are sometimes the unfortunate consequences.

But Wayne Forster says change doesn’t need to be a negative factor in our lives. Change can lead to growth, personal fulfillment and organizational success. By understanding the nature of change, by learning how to cope with the challenges change presents, and by seizing the opportunities change offers, we can truly embrace change and make it a positive force for ourselves and our organization!

• Define what change is and why it occurs.
• Pinpoint the forces driving change in today’s organizations.
