I made someone cry on Friday.
Let me rephrase that. One of my team cried on Friday. Oops.
We were talking about change. She is worried about the changes we want to make. I say, we have to move, this is the direction we are moving in. She says, but what if it is not the right direction? This can be very stressful for some people.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross spent years researching grief, and her concepts can be applied to change of all kinds. Denial gives way to acceptance and then, hopefully, commitment. There are no hard and fast rules, if change is a fact and not a possibility.
And so it is with moving country. You have this period of elation, almost hysteria, the facts of the situation escape you. It is like denial, it exists for positive change as well as negative.
We all want to be happy and relaxed in our lives, and in our work. We have a duty to demonstrate this, to show those around us that it is possible when they forget.
Hopefully, in return they will show us when we forget!
