Coping With Change

Change in our organisations is inevitable. In fact, in most organisations, it’s just about the only constant. If organisations didn’t change in response to market forces, they would eventually stagnate and collapse.

Despite this constant force however, most people are uncomfortable with organisational change. It may be a fear of the unknown or the desire to stay with what is comfortable. Coping with organisational change involves a process of acceptance by letting go of the old way and embracing the new world. Practicing some simple coping mechanisms can significantly increase our ability to deal with ongoing changes.

When we choose to implement a change in our own lives, we can be very excited about it. However, when change is imposed on us it can be a different story, largely because it is something over which we have little or no control.
