(Mt) – Change
Management in Organizations Questions Chapter 8: Becoming a Master Change Agent Chapter Overview • Change agents are key to the entire change process • Change success is a function of the person, a vision, and the situation • The chapter describes traits and competencies that contribute to change agent effectiveness • Experience plays a big role in skill development • Four change agent types are described: the Emotional Champion, the Intuitive Adapter, the Developmental Strategist, and the Continuous Improver • Internal and external change agents and change teams are discussed Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 2 The Change Path Model Awakening Chapter 4 Mobilization Chapter 5 through 8 Becoming a Master Change Agent • Factors influencing change agent success • Change leader characteristics • Change leader development • Types of change leaders • External change agents • Effective change teams Acceleration Chapter 9 Institutionalization Chapter 10 Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 3 Being a Change Agent Being a Change Agent Person Vision Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. Situatio n 4 The Change Agent Role— Is It Worth the Risk? • Being a change agent can be professionally hazardous • It can also prove energizing, exciting, educational, and enriching • You are likely to improve your understanding of the organization, develop special skills, and increase your network of contacts and visibility • Failure experiences, though painful, are seldom terminal—change agents tend to be resilient Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 5 Endothermic and Exothermic Change • Exothermic Change • More energy is liberated than is consumed, by the actions undertaken to promote change • Endothermic Change • The change program consumes more energy than it generates Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 6 The Interaction of Vision and Situation with Who You Are Later in this chapter, we explore behaviors and attributes common to change agents. Here we ask you to consider why, where, and when you might become more of a change agent. 1. What purposes do you consider vital? What visions do you follow for which you would make significant personal sacrifices? 1. What would be a vision that could catapult you into persistent, committed, and even sacrificial (by normal standards) action? 1. How does the situation you find yourself in affect your desire to become a change agent? Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 7 Essential Change Agent Characteristics • Commitment to improvement • Communication and interpersonal skills •

Intelligence 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. HIGH 14 Toolkit Exercise 8.2—How Did You Rate Yourself? 1. How would you assess yourself on the scales that proceed? What areas of development are suggested? 1. Are you more likely to be comfortable in a change leadership role at this time, or does the role of change manager or implementer seem more suited to who you are? 1. Ask a mentor or friend to provide you feedback on the same dimensions. Does the feedback confirm your self-assessment? If not, why not? Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 15 Developing Yourself as a Change Agent • Formal study helps develop the awareness and skills of change agents, but experience is invaluable • You are your own best teacher—learn by doing • Accept
3.
responsibility and blame
no one • True understanding comes from reflection on your experience • Reflection and Appreciative Inquiry are powerful developmental tools for both yourself and those you are working with Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 16 Miller’s Stages of Change Beliefs Stage 1: Beliefs: People will change once they understand the logic of the change. People can be told to change. As a result, clear communication is key. Underlying is the assumption that people are rational and will follow their self-interest once it is revealed to them. Alternately, power and sanctions will ensure compliance. Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 17 Miller’s Stages of Change Beliefs (cont.) Stage 2: Beliefs: People change through powerful communication and symbolism. Change planning will include the use of symbols and group meetings. Underlying is the assumption that people will change if they are “sold” on the beliefs. Again, failing this, the organization can use power and/or sanctions. Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 18 Miller’s Stages of Change Beliefs (cont.) Stage 3: Beliefs: People may not be willing or able or ready to change. As a result, change leaders will enlist specialists to design a change plan and the leaders will work at change but resist changing themselves. Underlying is the assumption that the ideal state is where people will become committed to change. Otherwise, power and sanctions must be used. Deszca, Ingols & Cawsey, Organizational Change: An Action- Oriented Toolkit, 4th ed.. © 2020 SAGE Pub. 19 Miller’s Stages of Change Beliefs (cont.) Stage 4: Beliefs: People have a limited capacity to absorb change and may not be as willing, able, or ready to change as you wish. Thinking through how to change the people is central to the implementation of change. Underlying is the assumption that commitment for change must be built and that power or sanctions have major limitations in achieving change and building organizational capacity.
