To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. Winston Churchill

To make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of something different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone.

“There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction” Winston Churchill quotes (British Orator, Author and Prime Minister during World War II. 1874-1965)

Most of us are at least somewhat resistant to change.  We are comfortable with the status quo.  It is easy to continue doing what we have been doing in the same way.  However, change is inevitable.  If we look at change positively, we realize that change can be exciting, keeping life – or our businesses – ever evolving and improving.

The transformation in today’s workplace is ever-accelerating.  If it does not come naturally, it is an ability we must learn quickly in order to successfully adapt to the adjustments made in our company’s operation, management, compensation and/or products. 

When we learn of an upcoming change, we may focus on what we might lose rather than on what we may gain from it.  Whether we personally like or dislike it, we must adapt productively and positively to modifications that arise around us.

There may be times when we would like to just get the change over with and move on.  Unfortunately, it does not always work that way, and the cycle of change may take longer than you hoped or expected.  The company must announce the upcoming change to everyone; it must be integrated into an existing system; and it may take time to adjust to the many things that the change may affect. 

When we learn about an upcoming change, we should consider it a challenge!  Learn as much as possible about it; think about the new and exciting possibilities that may result from the change. Face it head on.

Instead of clinging to the status quo, why not ask ourselves, “How will this change improve my business?  How will it make our entire company better?”  Instead of resisting it, let’s seek out ways that the change will provide us with an opportunity to grow our businesses. 

Ask others – your team leader or other team members – for their opinion.  Perhaps they have more of an understanding about how the change will affect each of us individually and as a company.  They may have an entirely different perspective from ours, so we can ask for their feedback on how they are adjusting to the change.  When we have a solid support system surrounding us, it will ease the effect of the change. 

Eventually the adjustment to the change, or to several changes, will become easier.  I’ll admit that early on with Xpress Healthcare® business, before I knew the business well, changes frightened me a bit.  I wondered whether I could learn a new way of working, new products, new skills. 

My company is only a few years old, so I have since learned that I must expect changes and embrace them.  If we can all do this, we can improve, evolve, and grow with our company and contribute to our company’s growth as well.
