In my work with successful professionals and business owners, I often hear my clients voice a common concern: “I don’t have the time to do what I really want to do. Work occupies so much of my time. I feel my life is out of balance.” Successful professionals and business owners often feel pressured to work harder and keep longer hours to keep up with the demands of their work. Under these circumstances it is easy to develop the belief that there just is not enough time to do all that needs to be done, much less to spend time doing what one would like to do. Feeling controlled by circumstances leads to significant feelings of frustration that, over time, will lead to poor work performance and burnout. Restoring a sense of balance is crucial to thriving in your work and personal life.

So you are standing by the water cooler with the rest of the staff, chatting. Then someone points to a new notice on the staff cork board. All of you rush to the notice and groan in unison: yes, another change will be made in your department. You wonder whether your job is on the line, hoping against hope that it is not. Your organization is going through an organizational change.
When does an organization experience change? The leaders of the organization might initiate change when they try to amend how the organization operates. It also occurs when the organization adds to or takes away a key segment or process from the system. Change also happens when the organization switches to a new plan to achieve success.
