<description><![CDATA[Change can either challenge or threaten us...Your beliefs pave your way to success or block you. ~Marsha Sinetar. Indeed, change is seldom a welcome proposition. U.S. radical activist, Saul Alinsky, hit the nail on the head, when he said - "Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict." This is particularly true in context of an organization. Yet, more often than not, organizational change initiatives are met with apprehension and resistance. Hence, a large part of effective change management depends on how well people reactions to change are managed. As the driving force of the organisation, the CEO plays a significant role here - not only in visualizing a change, but also in preparing his people to embrace that change. His initiatives can go a long way to ensure that the change process not only helps the organisation to evolve but also enables its people to enrich and expand their frontiers of thinking.]]></description>

You might say that we've moved from a more forgiving "middle school experience" into a tougher "high school" environment. We've been plucked out of our safe spaces and thrust into unfamiliar territory in which we are no longer sure what's expected. The stakes are higher, the consequences tougher. More is being asked.

The evolutionary pace of health care culture is about to be shocked into a mandated reality.
