EFFECTIVE CHANGE
MANAGEMENTCreate a sense of urgencyI will create a sense of urgency that this change is important and need to be done right
now.
FORMING A POWERFUL GUIDING COALATION
I will identify true leaders in organization who are ready to accept change. I will checkmy team for weak areas and try to help them and communicate with them. I will ensure
the good mix of people from different department and levels within the company.
Create a vision for change
I will first collect great ideas. Link these concepts to an overall vision that people can
grasp easily and remember and clearly illustrate that change is needed to collide with
future challenge.
COMMUNICATE A VISION:
I will the vision frequently and powerfully and embed it in each and everything I do. I will
become a role model for change. I will talk often about my change vision. Apply my
vision to all aspects of operations from training to performance reviews. Tie everything
back to the vision.
