May be I am too generic but I could conclude this on positions; At a moment dancers have either cross or open positions relative to each other.
If follower is led so that that (s)he arrives to the same position one after each other then the change of direction relative to the leader is achieved.

Typically from a Back ocho, one might do things like another back ocho, a side step (molinette), or a boleo. Similiarly, from a fromt ocho, the typical next steps are another front ocho, a side step, a boleo, or even a parada. Going from a front ocho step directly to a back ocho, would be an example of the change (as is a back ocho directly to a front ocho step).
