As a manager, you can influence others. Take change, for example. The way you personally relate to change and cope with it will have a lasting effect on your employees. But before you can help others, you must be able to help yourself. When they see how effectively you cope with change, your staff, too, will see change for what it really is - an opportunity to lead a much fuller and productive life. To help you and your staff survive and thrive in an age of ongoing change, the guidelines offered in our eight-page e-Topic How to learn to live with change are a great starting point…

1. Look to the future.
2. See change as opportunity.
3. Develop your own coping strategy by embracing these eight strategies…
4. Accept that nothing is permanent.

The e-Topic elaborates upon each of those guidelines and concludes with a wealth of useful hints, advice, anecdotes and inspiration to help the reader better understand and implement the core material presented.

“Everyone responds to change in some way. Sticking one’s head in the sand is a response, though not a very effective one. Actively resisting change is another kind of response. Embracing change thoughtlessly is another. To meet change realistically and not to be overwhelmed by it, the challenge of responding correctly becomes very important. Definite attitudes and qualities of mind are essential and three of these are flexibility, awareness, and involvement.”

Simple, step-by-step solutions to your management problems and issues – that’s the aim of our e-Topics series. For busy managers, it’s literally management2go!
