Imagine that your boss walks into your office and says, “The company is doing some restructuring and, starting next week, you’re going to report to someone new.” That’s certainly a change!
By the way, if you’re curious about how your personal reactions to change stack up, you should measure yourself with the online test “How Do You Personally Feel About Change?”
Some people look at that situation optimistically and think, "That’s great, I can’t wait to see what new opportunities are available!"
