Implementing Change

Change is inherent in the human services environment as newer models of service delivery and the healthcare system overall continue to evolve. Individual and organizational conflict may occur because change cannot always be avoided. However, if conflict is ignored, it can result in lost time, poor production, and decreased efficiency. When the leader manages conflict well, new ideas as well as informed decision making, and better performance can surface. Implementing change effectively requires skill, knowledge, and experience.
