What is Change Management for an Individual

Hello everyone, This is Brito Daniel and currently reading for MBA at London Metropolitan University, UK at Esoft Colombo. The theme for the semester is Change Management: HR Management Approach. 

Before going in to change management at large, lets see how an individual go through change management within him/herself in his life. 

Just like the earth, nature, religion and corporate, politics, everyone one of us has been changing since we were born, from infant to child to young, young adult, married man, corporate professional and finally an elderly person. Whether we like it or not, we need to go through this process. One changes for personal growth, in terms of Spiritual, physical, and psychological and its continuous learning. 

Once he or she starts to experience our life cycle, he or she has to be ready for any changes that might occur planned or suddenly or naturally in their life. This will occur at any stage in his life until he dies. Once he or she learn to predict and respond or face this changes, he will be very much successful in any forms of his or life. 

This summarised online article written by the Famous Arthur Charles A. Garfield, in Peak Performers: The New Heroes of American Business says that characteristics to face changes can be learnt and practiced. He also conclude after doing a research with 500 top people, that most senior people who performance at peak are not the greatest but who can predict the change, challenge the changes, to grow within and to respond to the change in their lives. (Charles A, 1986).

So this blog will discuss how can HRM guide employees to adopt or accept change.
