To skillfully tolerate, and certainly lead, change in organizations, we need to reflect on four things:

• Change is constant and often uncomfortable, and history proves it;
• Successfully navigating change requires skillful communication;
• Skillful, healthy people with good information can successfully adopt new ways of thinking, being and working;
• Organizations can meet contemporary challenges if they have a critical mass of skillful, healthy people with good information, creative enthusiasm, a tolerance for imperfection, and a green light for action.

Whether you're faced with a merger, updated mission, layoffs, new work requirements or technology, or other organizational changes that rely upon behavior shifts, here are a few resources to support skillful change management.
