Managing Change

In any organization change is something which is inevitable therefore it is the responsibility of the manager of any given organization to ensure that the change is managed effectively . One major mistake managers do make is that most of their times they tend to impose the change in the organization such that every employee has to abide by it The point is , we have to understand that change does occur but employees have to be made to go through the change

gradually

Basically a change cannot take place at once it is something which has to come gradually . Therefore managers should not assume that once a change is started then every employee is to use the common sense to know that the change is either taking place or has taken place

What is important before change is adopted and incorporated in daily operating procedures of an organization is the individual differences in the organization . This will help managers improve their leadership styles especially in institutions where democracy prevails .

It is the sensing or predicting that change is either taking place or has taken place . It is the preliminary state of change process . The awareness stage is where an individual in an organization become well informed about the change . The change is being contemplated in this stage . The second phase of change is the acceptance phase which is also subdivided into understanding stage and positive perception stage

The understanding stage is where the individual is to conceptualize the subject matter that is analysis of the change . This helps one to understand its nature and why it occurs . It can only take place when a detailed research has taken place . The positive perception stage then takes place . This is where an individual is made to view the change positively for it will help the organization improve the results it produces . Results in this case may be products produced by a company or services provided...
