Introduction
In every organization, there are times when they face problems of presenting new changes to procedures that are crucial to the status quo of the organization. However, some of the changes might encounter strong resistance, causing major problems for managers. At the same time, others are accepted as worthwhile for the benefit of the company. However, why are some changes acceptable while others cause resistance? How can the managers handle such resistance? In business, managers have to consider a lot of variables before implementing them. This consideration avoids causing major harm to the business, such as employees massively quitting their jobs (Naeem, 2020).
Question 1:
Whenever managers are faced with a proposed change, they should weigh the impact the changes might bring to the company and how their employees will react to them. However, many organizations use change management methodologies that ensure problems are solved and overcome challenges. A change methodology ensures that support is given to all departments, simply the processes, and ensures a smooth workflow and teamwork. Many different methodologies help in managing changes; however, for our situation, John Kotter's change methods and Kurt Lewin's Change Management Model are appropriate.
John Kotter's Change Method
John Kotter proposed an easy-to-use and simple framework to use. It provides an eight steps plan that ensures smooth workflow. In his method, the first step is to create a sense of urgency. This means that you call the employees into an urgent meeting. The next step is to form an implementation group. This step relieves the manager of the burden of making tough decisions that some employees will not appreciate. In those groups, the employees themselves outline the visions for the change, remove obstacles, and create short-term objectives. The last steps include building change progress and integrating them into the work culture (Campbell, 2020).
