Change is something we see and notice on a daily basis, some we have control over and those we can not do anything on. You can read on the types of change here
I also talked about the types of people in the world with respect to change, you can read that up here too.
I would be talking about responses to change in this post, either voluntarily or not we respond to change. Response to stimuli is part of our properties as human, so I am a little guided.
Let us go through the major responses of human towards change:
Resist change: This is a normal type of response especially if the change puts one at a disadvantage. The resistance would not hold on for long since change is inevitable. During the process of resisting change, one should also look ahead.
Prepare for change: This is a good response, shows research has been made on the change and necessary steps are been taken to be at an advantage. This type of response should be encouraged.
Ignore change: Compared to resisting, this one is a little bit worse. One would rather choose to stay ignorant of the fact that change is coming and would continue to channel the energy to another thing. This type of response should be checked.
Accept and adjust to change: This shows that one has accepted the fact the rather than resisting the incoming change. It shows maturity and responsibility.
Imitate and manage change: This is a grand response! It shows that the person is in charge of the change, it must have been well studied and proper preparation made. This is the the type of response we all should aspire to make towards change.
As for me, I would rather manage change than resist it.
