Which approach is recommended for helping people through the 'change curve'?

Actively Involve Line Managers: Change management frameworks highlight the importance of involving line managers to support individuals through the emotional phases of the change curve. Line managers can offer guidance, listen to concerns, and provide the reassurance needed to navigate uncertainty.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

B: Negative emotions are a normal part of the change curve and should not automatically be seen as mismanagement.

C: Discouraging discussion can create further resistance and disengagement.

D: Assuming individuals will adapt over time neglects the need for proactive engagement and support.
