Once the critical steps of awareness that change happens, monitoring change, and anticipating change are realized, then another core principle is far easier to deal with. Adaptation is the primary means of dealing with change. The adaptation stage means taking new actions to fulfill new objectives. Outflanking fear with planning, action, and positive vision, change can be used to advantage. (Johnson, 1998)
In order to better manage change, knowledge and behaviors must be weighed for their positive and negative effects. Those behaviors and actions that positively influence adaptation to change must be retained. While those behaviors and actions that negatively affect adaptation must be forgotten, unlearned, and released. To learn, to accept new successful knowledge and behaviors is important. However, at least as equally as important is the ability to recognize bad behaviors and unlearn hindering or detrimental actions. (de Holan, 2004)
