ABSTRACT
Sparked by Bridges (1980) and numerous others charting the passages of individual development (e.g., Golembiewski, 1978) as well as by Beckhard (1969, 1975; Beckhard and Harris, 1987) for large systems, the management of transitions (MOT) occupies an increasingly prominent place in today’s theory and practice of conscious change. Given the turbulent environment in which we now live, and given that matters probably will get more rather than less difficult, the challenges of effective transitioning will have a high priority.
