Leading Change Model
Kotter's 8-Step Change Model
 Create urgency :
- Develop a sense of urgency around the need for
change. This may help you spark the initial motivation
to get things moving.
 Form a powerful coalition :
- You can find effective change leaders throughout your
organization
- To lead change, you need to bring together a coalition,
or team, whose power comes from a variety of sources,
including job title, status, expertise, and political
importance.

Kotter's 8-Step Change Model
 Create the vision :
- When you first start thinking about change, there will
probably be many great ideas and solutions floating
around. Link these concepts to an overall vision that
people can grasp easily and remember.
 Communicate the vision :
- What you do with your vision after you create it will
determine your success
- Don't just call special meetings to communicate your
vision. Instead, talk about it every chance you get.
 Remove obstacle :
- Identify people who are resisting the change, and help
them see what's needed.
- Take action to quickly remove barriers (human or
otherwise).
 Create short term wins :
- Nothing motivates more than success.
- Give your company a taste of victory early in the
change process
 Build on the change
- Kotter argues that many change projects fail because
victory is declared too early.
- Real change runs deep. Quick wins are only the
beginning of what needs to be done to achieve long-
term change.
 Anchor the change in the culture
- Finally, to make any change stick, it should become
part of the core of your organization.
- Make continuous efforts to ensure that the change is
seen in every aspect of your organization.
Leading change :
 When leaders are planning to lead change, there are
four key principles that need to be kept in mind:
1. Different People React Differently To Change
2. Everyone Has Fundamental Needs That Have To Be
Met
3. Change Often Involves A Loss, And People Go
Through The "Loss Curve“
4. Fears Have To Be Dealt With
Change obstacles
 Lack of power
 Lack of vision
 Failing to communicate
the vision
 Letting obstacles get in
the way
 Failing to create short
term wins
 Ignoring organizational
cultures
Resistance to change :
The action taken by individuals or groups when they
perceive that change that occurring as threat to them
Resistance to change :
causes of resistance to change :
- Poor communication ( reasons , benefits , time )
- Self interest
- Feeling excluded ( threat)
- Lack of trust
- Skill / training dearth
Change adoption :
 Factors affecting adoption :
- Relative advantage
- Simplicity ( easy to understood )
- Easy to try
- Easy to measure
- Inexpensive
