The open communication and team objectives will make the COA team realize high energy, renewed commitment to the change process, and openness. In this stage, the FHA team has adopted the change, and requires leadership to sustain the drive. At this stage, an effective leadership style to maintain the drive to change is the management by objectives (Bridges & Bridges, 2009). This leadership style drives people to connect to the objectives of the change process and to the change plan. I would also motivate the team by recognizing the effort in the change process to avoid complacency.
Key Elements in the Leadership Organizational Change Process
Smart Power
The leadership model created in the change process was accentuated with smart-power or the model of visionary leadership. In this model, organizational and project team communication was achieved by adopting the principals of strategic control, balance of constraint and creativity, transfer of information, and transactional process (Martini, 2008). The model specifically focused on the balance of control, creativity, and constraint by tapping into the individual creativity without violating organizational and group constraints. To create balance I developed the individual identities, organization of the group, as I recognized the abundance of knowledge, skills, and expertise. This was achieved by encouraging responsibility at all levels from the individual, group, and organizational. This arises from the realization that individual responsibility creates responsibility in the group, which translates to organizational responsibility to the implementation of the COA change plan.
Force Field Analysis
This decision strategy was used to identify those forces that would push or restrain the change process (Kondalkar, 2010). In the change process, it was identified that the level of resistance to change by the executive and senior staff of FHA was strong, with the finance program officer disapproving COA's approval. To reduce this restraining force, I choose to change the behavior and focus of the group using Bridges model. This is because the model increases communication and feedback between individuals, encourages responsible leadership, and focuses on group behavior to break constraints.
Personal Mastery
In the change process, Bridges & Bridges (2009) transition model required individuals to let go of emotions and feelings that constrained the adoption of the change plan. Success in the first stage required the identification of ego states and personality types that influenced emotions, behaviors, feelings, and actions towards the COA plan. Using Myers-Briggs type I indicator, I realized that I have Introvert, iNtuition, Feeling, and Judging (INFJ), which indicates an initiator and influencer of positive change. I learnt that I try to understand what motivates others, try to make connection...
When the perceived role and the expected role are incongruent, conflict can occur both between the leader and his followers, and within himself. This can result in a slowdown in production, a lowering of morale and resistance to changes that the leader may be trying to implement (Robbins & Judge, 2007). According to Shafritz & Ott (2005) an organization is essentially a tool that people use to coordinate their actions
Organizational Change in the Public Sector This research proposal explores the feasibility of management in the public Sector as an organizational paradigm and new model in organizational development. The literature review reviews numerous journal articles that explore on the key concepts of change management strategies from a public sector project management perspective. The authors suggest that employee's participation, effective feedback across the board, and empowerment of subordinate staffs is a major
Change Plan Effectiveness of the organizational change There are various questions that the leaders of the organization have to ask themselves such as what happened after the changes? Were the expected results got? What were results got that were unexpected? Did the performance of the organization improve? Did the performance decline? Do any adjustments need to occur? The changes that have been implemented should be reflected on the performance of the organization.
Change Management Organizational Change Organizational change aims at ensuring that the implementation of changes in an organization is smooth and successful. Moreover, it ensures that the benefits of these changes are achievable (Burke 2010). The introduction of social media and technology has recently had much effect on business in the recent past. Accessing information by the organization is easier nowadays thus; the need for introducing changes to business to cope with the
This means training that is focused on increasing the knowledge economy of the transforming firm rather than in simply standardizing processes. According to the text by Chapman (2009), this may even call for a change in the linguistic approach to this process. Chapman advises that "training implies putting skills into people, when actually we should be developing people from the inside out, beyond skills, ie., facilitating learning. So focus
I decided to take their idea of turning the adoption of the system into a game, and it would be one entirely available offline as well. This would give the older workers a chance to compete and see their progress. I devised a game of showing not productivity, but customer satisfaction -- a rare metric that was captured in our post-department surveys. The senior managers of the department had
