PSYCHOLOGY OF CHANGE
We experience changes physically, mentally and emotionally
Usually it is slight and slow but it can be sudden – disrupting
our work, dislocating our relationships or ruining our leisure
time.
Sometimes we can explain it, sometimes not
Changes involves the familiar; sometimes the unknown. Many
of us prefer what is familiar.
Rather than seek change, we continue to live with our old
familiar feelings (patterns and routines) 13
Why is Change Management Important?
People want to be successful
People feel successful once they have mastered their environment and believe it is secure
People will resist any change to the work environment that impacts their security

happens to you. But you’re in complete control of how
you respond to what happens.
