Liminal seasons are not the same as seasons of intentional change management. During change management, leaders know where they stand and where they are headed. In change management, the leader must build consensus, overcome resistance, and remove obstacles that stand in the way of a desired future. During liminal seasons, our destination is not yet clear. The leader must keep the people moving forward, but the endpoint is fuzzy. Liminal seasons require us to build the bridge as we walk on it.
