Change

“We then discuss the implications that we can derive for change management. People mention applications such as these: Change takes an initiator. The initiator of change must be trusted. Change requires clear instructions. People can handle only so much change—don’t overload. Change takes energy and creativity. Change can be minor yet feel dramatic. Change can cause people to feel uncomfortable and even fearful about losing the old and facing the new. People focus on what they have to sacrifice. People feel isolated when they lose the familiar. People have different levels of readiness for change. Change is not one action but a journey. People often revert back to their old style.” (Robert Kelleman,  Equipping Counselors for Your Church, p. 132)
