This is because of the constant information on the effects of smoking in relation to health conditions. This stage illustrates on the essence of quitting smoking without the crucial plan by smokers (Aveyard et al., 2008).
Preparation

During this third stage, it is vital for the individual engaging in smoking behavior to adopt an effective plan towards transforming the behavior. The individual must prepare mental and psychologically for the adoption and implementation of change in order to obtain maximum utilization of the quitting technique. This also entails transformation of other aspects of lifestyles that might pile pressure on the individual in relation to the smoking behavior. In most cases, smokers decide on the quitting dates and mark it on the calendar to aid their quitting process. Other smokers also inform their friends or relatives on the quitting technique and dates to obtain some accountability in the process (Aveyard et al., 2008).

Domestic violence and abuse is a very severe difficulty, for both the victims and the abusers. There are a number of theories about what makes batterers use abuse on those who are close to them. One outlook is that batterers are toughened criminals who carry out their crimes in a cognizant, deliberate way to attain the supremacy they think men are entitled to. Others consider abuse to be the product of deep psychological and developmental scars, which are not gender particular. Some experts have reached an agreement on a number of universal characteristics amid batterers, they are scheming, calculating, frequently see themselves as victims and think that men have a predetermined right to be in charge of all facets of a relationship (Buddy, 2011).

references in how Dr. Burke illustrates through analysis of organizations just how critical it is to pay attention to the smaller processes if the larger management change strategy is to be effective.

The Burke-Litwin Model for organizational change is also analyzed from the standpoint of Dr. David McClelland's contributions of individual's propensities for motivation to change. The author navigates the next few chapters well, mixing the theoretical models as a means to show the process-based approaches to making organizational change with the pragmatic lessons learned of a practitioner. He completes this analysis with an assessment of how the individual attributes of each model matter far more than the far-reaching, ore environmentally based ones. In this way he communicates that for lasting change to occur in any organization that has got to be an internalization of the goals and objectives they are based on. Without this there is no lasting change, he seems to be implying through the framework and model analysis completed. These points together then form an excellent foundation for the last chapters of the book that center on transformational leadership. These last chapters also form an excellent capstone series that tie together the best and worst practices of organizational change, the core concepts and frameworks and models, and the strategies for overcoming resistance to change. These chapters were the most prescriptive in how to transform management into leadership in the context of organizational change. They were also interesting to see how Dr. Burke analyses the phases of organizational change an how the practical lessons learned made the process more challenging and daunting that it is often made out to be. Throughout the book there is also the common thread of how chaotic change can be over time and how transformational leaders need to create a resiliency and trust to be effective. These chapters define transformational leadership in those contexts and also provide insights into real-world examples of how the authors' process-centricism has made a different. The use of hybrid models of transformational and transactional leadership also is useful for seeing how rewards are defined and fulfilled.

Conclusion

Organizational change is never a one-and-done proposition, and to make change effective and last, there are more complexities than many theorists and managers list in their advice. This book provides a solid foundation that shows just how chaotic change can be and that situational leadership that can transform and reward is crucial. It also shows that worst practices in organizational change happen when plans are too dogmatically adhered to. The author brings a message of organizational agility and the need to listen and respond to the complexities of change, not try to overcome it with an engineered response. Trust as the catalyst of change and the ability to internalize change is crucial.

Lewin’s Change and Force Field Analysis Theories Applied to a Geropsych Unit Using Lewin’s Change and Force Field Analysis theories to produce a more dedicated Geropsych Unit can be accomplished by putting each theory into practice. First, the goal of the change must be identified, which here is to develop a staff that is dedicated to its work and patients. Then the process can be begun. The first step is to remove the workers from their current state of awareness regarding how things are done. According to Lewin’s change theory, this is the period of “unfreezing” that must occur, wherein the old manner of execution is unfrozen or unfixed in the mind so that the new method can be inserted and learned. In the Geropsych Unit, the key to developing a more dedicated staff is to unfreeze the mind and help the workers to “unlearn” the behaviors that have allowed them…...

Innovation and EntrepreneurshipIntroductionWhen it comes to promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in the workplace, the main problem leaders face is how to achieve harmony and positivity in the face of change. Many different theories abound to the extent that a leader can feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of possible approaches to use. De Caluwe and Vermaak (2004) have simplified the situation by providing the color change theory. For leaders interested in innovation, green-print thinking and white-print thinking, according to De Caluwe and Vermaak (2004), are going to have the most utility for leaders. Green-print thinking fosters a collaborative environment in which people learn from one another; white-print thinking fosters initiatives and exploration. To keep the workplace environment functioning well, humor can also be applied, as it strengthens relationships (Charman, 2013). For the purpose of this paper, leadership is defined as the ability to empower others (Conger, 1989, p. 17). This…...

If the need for change is accepted, rationally, then emotionally, then gradually workers will become more willing and open to learn, and to incorporate the change into the organization's standard operating procedures. Individuals are more apt to accept change if, for example, they are convinced that it will improve patient care in the long run, than if the directive is merely dispensed as required because 'management says so.'
The critical aspect of fifth phase of the change process of "learning" is how changes are introduced. Communicating is an essential aspect of 'buy-in' but so is fostering a positive sense within the organization about the proposed changes by 'creating early wins' (Campbell 2008). This will lead to an increase in people's perceived own competence in their new roles. Unfortunately, starting with easier projects is not always feasible, but even if it is not, a Clinical Nurse Leader must be particularly sensitive…...

That is why in the proposed Change Management Equilibrium Model have customer-driven processes at their center or core.

Personality Theories: How I Made a ChangeThe American Psychological Association (APA) defines personality as distinct, individual patterns of thinking and feeling (Personality, 2021). Although there are certain traits which all human beings share to varying degrees, spanning from positive traits like empathy to negative ones like irritability, not all persons possess these traits in the same degree, and exhibit those traits in the same manner. The latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) that is currently used to diagnose clinical mental disorders even includes a category of personality disorders, as distinct from general mental illnesses. These are personalities which are significantly maladaptive in the ways that they interact with the world (obitz, 2018). This suggests that an individuals personality is distinct from an individuals mental state.Change in PersonalityAlthough personality is often represented as something fixed and unchanging, even in some psychological literature, this does not…...

c. Other theorists (Modern Attachment Theories)

Upon the establishment and strengthening of Bowlby and Ainsworth's Attachment Theory, other theorists have developed new studies which either tested the theory or sought to apply it in different contexts or scenarios. Inevitably, most scenarios and contexts that new theorists and psychology researchers took is the path to explaining grief and bereavement. Others, however, have centered on specific aspects of the theory and sought to expound and/or test it, as Ainsworth did when Bowlby was still in the process of strengthening his attachment theory.

One such study was conducted by Schore and Schore (2008), which explored the emotion regulation aspect of the theory. In their study, the authors realized the potential of attachment theory in developing a "therapeutic intervention" from which coping on the loss of the attachment figure would be a healthier process for the individual. The authors shifted from the issue of attachment to…...

Change management models help organizations to effect change in a systematic manner while avoiding some of the pitfalls associated with organizational change development. According to John Kotter, organizations frequently make the same mistakes when they try to bring about change; they allow too much complacency or they fail to communicate and so forth (Reynolds, 2009).

Kotter's 8-step change model has been shown to be a powerful and successful method for implementing change. The purpose of Kotter's model is to efficiently and effectively achieve change management. People respond better to change when they are actively involved in its…...

QUINN's MODEL OF CHANGE
Changes in nursing procedures:

Applying Quinn's theory of change

Change resistance can often be extremely difficult to overcome in a healthcare environment. Given that nurses operate with a great deal of autonomy, they are often suspicious when new initiatives interfere with standard operating procedures that have worked in the past. To change the locality of shift to shift reporting from the break room to the bedroom, a nurse manager must generate staff buy-in so that employees genuinely believe that the change is needed and will make substantive improvements for patients, enough so that any of the inconveniences generated by the change seem warranted. ather than demanding immediate and radical changes, James Brien Quinn "suggests that the most effective strategies of major enterprises tend to emerge step-by-step from an iterative process in which the organization probes the future, experiments, and learns from a series of partial (incremental) commitments rather than…...

Select a problem or issue in the healthcare industry that you know needs changing or improvement.One area within the healthcare industry that required change and improvement are costs. Costs relative to other developed nations is very high, without the corresponding benefits of such costs. Currently the Untied States spends roughly 18% of GDP on healthcare related expenditures. Many experts believe that healthcare expenditures as a percentage of GDP will rise to nearly 20% by the year 2030. This will equate to roughly $4 trillion dollars being spent on healthcare related expenditures. This however is in stark contrast to actual healthcare outcomes which are not manifesting in the manner commensurate with the increase in costs. Currently, the United States is ranked last out of the 11 wealthiest nations of earth as it relates to healthcare outcomes. As a result, the United States is spending more than any other country but has…...

There would be a small cost to print the posters in each unit, but nothing extravagant. In order to promote the implementation, the department reporting the least amount of needle sticks per month would be given a small reward such as a free department lunch or movie tickets.
The program can be evaluated by the number of needle stick injuries reported. The nurses will have to be trusted to actually report an injury should one occur. If the number is consistently lowered, the plan is successful. Also, if the number of injuries continues to go down then that means that the perception of needle stick injuries is no longer viewed as an injury that is of little importance. Once the nurses adapt to the seriousness that a needle stick injury can cause, they will be more apt to prevent such injuries. This will result in a win-win situation for not…...

Psychological safety refers to the belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes. It is an essential component of a healthy work environment where individuals feel free to express their thoughts and opinions without fear of negative consequences (Edmondson, 1999).

In the context of organizational change, psychological safety plays a critical role in facilitating successful transitions. When employees feel psychologically safe, they are more likely to engage in open communication, share innovative ideas, and actively participate in the change process (Schein, 1996). This sense of safety fosters trust and collaboration within....
