Change is hard. Factor it all in: new ideas, organizational change, industry evolution, technology modernization and even personal changes. With all that, business (and life) can get overwhelming, especially when you’re managing people. The problem is, change ain’t going away. The only constant in business IS change, especially in today's fast-paced business environment. Having the tools to lead people through change and adapt to the challenges that transitions bring will improve your effectiveness as a leader and as an organization.
