It was a causal correlational research; 56 employees answered two questionnaires with 65 and 48 items of the variables under study. It was valid in content and construct, and reliability coefficient of 0,923 and 0,943. The management skills explain 82.5% of the variation in the management of organizational change. Communication and teamwork explain 84.4%. Managers have deficiencies in their oral, gestural and written communication. The communicative strategies implemented do not favor the organizational identification of the workers, nor involve the work team in the mission and vision, generating a lack of shared commitment with the organization. Disinformation about threats in the environment of the team members generate incapacity to overcome difficulties. All together predict the management of change processes in the organization by 85.3%. Managers are not prepared to implement change programs in the organization and adapt their behavior. Improvisation in organizations prevails. Managers must change their own behavior before asking anyone to do it.
