Massive organizational shifts can be bittersweet for businesses. Employees and managers are often excited about the shift, but also nervous about the uncertainty that lies ahead.

Years ago, I attended a training session where the instructor said that he knew participants we’re “getting it” because they started asking questions. It made sense to me.
