Working in a knowledge economy, it's all about the people — work gets done through people. Therefore, successful leaders must have effective practices and methods for helping people adapt to new ways of work. One fundamental in this domain of action is for leaders to understand the difference between change and transitions.
- Change is an external event — an action or decision either planned or unplanned — that impacts us as individuals.
- Transition, on the other hand, is the psychological internal reorientation that we go through in order to come to terms with change.
