All of us know how stressful change can be. Any kind of change in our familiar routine makes anxiety levels jump. The whole household is in turmoil to accommodate the demands of a new baby; the whole office struggles to accommodate the expectations of a new boss; the whole production line scrambles to accommodate the requirements of a new machine. We've all been through these kinds of changes, and we all know how they can threaten our job performance, our self-confidence, and our thinking about the future. Even if the change is the one we choose to make, one we know is a good change, the transformation from the old way to the new way is never easy.

For managers, times of change can bring double trouble. Not only do you have to adapt to the change yourself, but you must also help your people adapt as quickly and smoothly as possible. That's your job, and it's a job that can sometimes seem almost impossible. How do you do it? How can you become an effective manager of change?
