Encourage Change Hardiness

The only constant in business is change. One way or another, waves of transformation constantly flow through most organizations as they fight to get or stay ahead in the competitive global marketplace. So keep these pointers in mind while dealing with change:

1. Don't make changes for change's sake alone.  We've all experienced the "new broom sweeps clean" effect, suffering as a fresh leader came onto the scene and changed everything just because he or she could-regardless of how well the existing system functioned. Whenever this happens, chaos reigns and productivity plummets, and sometimes it never recovers.
