Leading Change

Change involves making things different. Some people embrace change and grow from it while others despise change and try to avoid it at all cost. Change that occurs involuntarily can create ambivalence and lead to only external superficial change. Superficial change involves doing what needs to be done, but it does not lead to real change.

    1. Demonstrate strategies for promoting a climate for change
