Managing the Human Side of Change
Change happens. It can be a negative change, like the
loss of a job. Or it can be a positive change, such
as a relocation that offers new opportunities. Either
way, many employees have trouble moving from the comfort
of the familiar through the uncertainty of change toward
a new beginning. Fortunately, there's a learning process
to help them on their journey. Based on a structured
three-stage process developed by William Bridges, Ph.D.,
Transition —The Personal Path Through Change integrates
the insights of DiSCŪ to help employees find the
most personally effective way of making a transition.

Transition — The Personal Path Through
Change is a 72-page personal learning guide that helps
employees through the emotional transition from "what
was" to "what will be." The benefits
of Transition include a faster, smoother journey from
frustrating resistance to fulfilling engagement. For
your organization, the benefits are even more tangible:
higher employee productivity, greater adaptability,
and improved innovation during times of change.
Bridges' Transiation Model
Transition is the gradual, psychological process that
we undergo in response to changes that occur in the
world around us. Dr. William Bridges defines three guideposts
on the path to successful transition: Endings, The Neutral
Zone, and New Beginnings.
Phase 1: Endings. Every transition
begins with an ending, a loss. When things change, people
leave behind the way things were — and how they
were in the previous situation. They may be left searching
for a new way to define themselves.
Phase 2: The Neutral Zone. The neutral
zone is a confusing in-between state, when people are
no longer who and where they were, but are not yet who
and where they’re going to be. Although the neutral
zone can be distressing, it also provides many opportunities
for creative transformation.
Phase 3: New Beginnings. A new beginning
can only happen after people have let go of the past
and spent some time in the neutral zone. In this phase,
people accept the reality of the change and start to
identify with their new situation.
