Letting Go: Responses to Change in an Organization
“All change involves loss, and people are therefore often resistant to making changes,” writes Moshe Cohen in his E-Mail Advisor, Letting Go: Responses to Change in an Organization. How will people in your organization respond to change even if the benefits are clear? Read as Moshe describes the different stages people experience in responding to change from denial and frustration to eventual experimentation and acceptance. As we see here, the responsibility lies with the agents of change to prepare to manage this transition and the integration into the organization’s culture.
