Change is one of the characteristics of life and of healthy groups.

Change is to be expected, even courted. The ability to perceive that change is needed, or coming, is one of the characteristics of any healthy organism. Following that perception, the organism must adapt or suffer harm or perish. Change is always on the horizon; the challenge is to stay awake and treat change as natural, healthy part of life. The leader’s task it to model behavior with regard to change, to see change coming, to adapt gracefully and help others deal with fear.
