Introduction
Change comes at a fast or slow rate it all depends on whom is watching and what they are looking for, one thing is for sure change will happen. It will happen because we make it happen or it happens because someone else forces us. Either way we have to be ready to make the change, we do this by studying and learning, the business, the business environment, the competitors, and the industry. Watching for the signs that change is in the wind and watching which way the change is blowing.
Change is described as “… something that presses us out of our comfort zone. It is destiny-filtered, heart grown, faith built. Change is inequitable; not a respecter of persons. Change is for the better or for the worst, depending on where you view it. Change has an adjustment period, which varies on the individual. It is uncomfortable, for changing from one state to the next upsets our control over outcomes… Change is awkward… Change pushes you to do your personal best… Change seeks a better place at the end and is complete when you realize you are different… Change is charged when you are dissatisfied with where you are… Change uses the power invested in the unseen to reinvent what is seen… Change is here to stay.” (iienett2.org, 2007)
