Overview: Our survival depends on responding to what is happening in our surrounding environment. If we ignore the needs and expectations of others, perhaps out of fear, insecurity, idleness, defiance, lack of awareness or too much looking back, we will find our attitudes and skills redundant. We will become casualties of change. If, on the other hand, we respond with courage, a new sense of security, application, humility and looking forward, we can not only survive but grow. We can be champions of change.
In the course, we'll look at some of these alternative ways of responding to change and show you how inadequate they are. For example, some people leave change to others and then discover that there is no way out.
After looking at some of the standard responses to change, we'll end by looking at the best way to respond to change: by managing it. |
