Yet, when faced with change, many organizations primarily focus on the process. Successful change takes more than that—it’s your people who make change happen. 

As people, we’re wired to react to change to survive, which can make change feel difficult or threatening. Successful leaders engage their people in change, making it feel less uncertain and more like an opportunity. 

While every change is unique, there’s a predictable pattern to change. Understanding this pattern and building the skills to navigate it successfully allows us to consciously determine how to move forward—even in the most challenging stages.
