Change Defined
"Change is the window through which the future enters your
life." It's all around you, in many types and shapes. You can bring it about
yourself or it can come in ways.

5 Strategic Questions
Why Change Management?
You can bring the change about yourself or it can come in ways that give you
little choice about its what, when, and how. Fighting against change
slow it down or divert it, but it won't stop it however. If you wish to
succeed in this rapidly changing new world "you must learn to look on change
as a friend – one who presents you with an opportunity for growth and
improvement."9
The rate of change in
today's world is constantly increasing. Everything
that exists is getting old, wearing out and should be replaced.
"Revolutionary technologies, consolidation, well-funded new competition,
unpredictable customers, and a quickening in the pace of change hurled
unfamiliar conditions at management."7

global economic, technological, and social change, that name of the game
for you and your organization is survival.

are going to withstand relentless and constantly growing global
competition, you need to
be different and
radically change the way of doing business.

Keep People
in the Know
MAKE decision, NAKE decision.
"Transformational leaders
empower others by keeping them "in the know," by keeping them
fully informed on everything that effects their jobs," says
Brian Tracy. "People want and need to feel that they are
“insiders,” that they are aware of everything that is going on.
There is nothing so demoralizing to a staff member than to be
kept in the dark about their work and what is going on in the
company."
