#1 Establish a Sense of Urgency

“Identify and discuss potential crises and major opportunities challenging your organization. Examine your competition.”

17 August 2013Kotter's 8 Steps for Leading Change - Awang Anwaruddin

#2 Form a Powerful Guiding Team

“Not just another committee, but select a diverse group with enough power to lead the change in your organization. Work together as a team.”


#3 Create a New Vision

Create a new vision to help direct the change effort in your organization. Develop strategies for achieving the new vision.


“Use every vehicle in your organization possible to communicate the new vision to all employes. Teach them new behaviors by best examples.”


#5 Empower Others to Act

Educate employees to understand the vision. Change programs, systems, and/or traditions that undermine the vision. Encourage risk taking and nontraditional ideas, activities, and actions.


Plan for visible, short-term improvements for your organization. Recognize experts and outside colleagues who are involved in the improvements.


#7 Consolidate Improvements & Produce Still More Change

Leverage successes to change systems, structures, and policies that don’t fit the vision. Develop and empower employees who can implement the vision. Reinvigorate the process with new projects, themes and committed brothers.


#8 Make the Current Process a Part of the Chapter’s Culture

“Articulate the connection between the new behaviors and the success of change in your organization. Develop the means to ensure leadership succession.”
