Making the most of change

The MSAE Board of Directors, in preparation for the planning retreat, read "Managing Transitions" by William Bridges, PhD. Since change is inevitable, it's good to take time to remember that the psychological transitions that accompany change are stressful. Organizational transitions affect people, it is the people who have to embrace a new situation that will eventually lead to the change.  This book is an excellent managerial tool for navigating through these tumultuous, uncertain times. 

"Our moral responsibility is not to stop the future, but to shape it...to channel our destiny in humane directions and to ease the trauma of transition" (Alvin Toffler, Futurist)
