Change Is Here To Stay Thoughts From A Change Agent
"The trouble with the future is that it usually arrives before we're ready for it." Arnold H. Glasow Whenever someone refers to me as a "Change Agent," I accept it as a real compliment because that is a very accurate description of what I am. Since change is here to stay, I wanted to share some thoughts about change and some strategies on dealing with change. Change in the workplace and in our lives is inevitable. The way most people deal with change can vary from trying to ignore it; getting angry; wishful thinking and/or running away. A very positive way to deal with change is to look at change as a spawning ground for new opportunities for the business or organization.

HANDLING CHANGE
Change is not a destination, it is a journey. For many business owners getting their staff or themselves to handle change and perhaps do things in a different or new way represents a massive challenge. If you consider that people make change, people fear change and people resist change then when we want to implement change our systems or processes or methods of doing business then we must first consider the people who are going to be involved in the change.

The Value of Change
Marketing people can be divided into two categories: those who resist change and those who welcome change. Guerrillas are in the second category. They not only welcome change, but they also are ready for change and respond to change.

The Problem With Plans
You'd change course rather than fly into a thunderstorm, wouldn't you? Even if that storm wasn't in your flight plan? Markets change, customers change, people change - plans should change too.

In the last article we discussed the need for change. Without the willingness to change, nothing will change in our life and circumstances. We can want change or things to change all we want. We can want change or desire for changes in our life till we are blue in the face, but nothing will happen till we take a step towards that change. You hear people all the time talking about wanting things to change in their lives, but sadly nothing ever does. Why? They seem to want things to change. They agonize over the things going wrong in their life, but nothing changes. In truth, things usually get worse.
Struggle If You Must During Career Transition, But Why Should You?
To advance forward is to advance to new perspectives by developing new competencies in both soft and hard skills. What is meant by soft and hard skills? I see the hard skills as those that are produced. They are measurable, quantifiable and can be observed outside of self. They have empirical evidence. For example, when a client of mine has a goal to make a career transition into another field of interest and she/he has succeeded, it is obvious to everyone who is familiar with him/her. It is measurable in that the client did break away from one profession and moved into another, which could be seen by others.

Change is a Fact of Life --- Six Keys That Make a Difference
Without change your company becomes stagnant, uncompetitive and boring. A leader's major responsibility is to create change, instigate change and then manage change effectively. In spite of the fact that creating change is a key competency required to be an effective leader, most people resist change. This includes leaders themselves. However, effective leaders accept change as a positive force and they are able to convince those that follow them that change is nothing more than a roadmap to a new and better destination. How do these leaders minimize that natural born resistance to change?

Change on Purpose
More than ever before, our current economy demands of most companies the ability to achieve measurable results that are specific to profitability, growth, cost containment and operational effectiveness. Of course, none of this will be possible without leadership and organizational change. Without change your company becomes stagnant, uncompetitive and boring. A leader's major responsibility is to create change, instigate change and then manage change effectively.

However, effective leaders accept change as a positive force and they are able to convince those that follow them that change is nothing more than a road map to a new and better destination.
