For many corporations change management is a time of controversy and chaos and yet it need not be. Is all change management like this? No, those teams that understand change management also understand smooth transitions and they also understand the shadowing of those that are leaving and fostering of those who will be remaining in the division or department.

The biggest issues in change management occur with abrupt changes such as a death or a resignation due to a dispute. Often with this there are hard feelings on the way out and that disrupts the communication change and you might even find yourself in situations of insubordination, sneaky little sabotage tricks and the worst of human nature and primate politics.

The sooner the company can overcome these issues and get back to a seamless environment of communication between executives the better the company will do in efficiency and the tighter the ship will run. It is unfortunate that we have to deal with human nature at the corporate management levels and that so many people act like children in sand boxes.

When involved in a situation such as this it behooves you to try not to take sides but to rather get everyone talking again and working for the common goal. It is easy to build a team with a common goal and a common enemy. The enemy should be mediocrity and perhaps the competition not each other. Please consider all this in 2006 for a smooth transition in your next change management scenario.
