This document outlines three keys to managing rapid change: 1) Leadership is the most powerful change lever and leaders must effectively communicate the benefits of change, address resistance, and coach/motivate employees. 2) Rapid change can cause fear in employees due to loss of security in changing job roles and expertise, which leads to resistance. Leaders must overcome this fear. 3) Successful change requires a methodology including change strategy, stakeholder analysis, readiness assessment, training, communication, champions, feedback, and support.
