Page 8: Developing others

III. Managing ChangeA. Sacred Cow Hunts

Page 9: Developing others

III. Managing ChangeA. Sacred Cow Hunts

forms and reports that cost organizations money to prepare, distribute and read.

Page 10: Developing others

affect the quality of work, increases employee stress and often cause employees’ health problems.

Page 12: Developing others

III. Managing ChangeEncouraging Change (Kriegel and Brandt, 1996)

• Think like a beginner – ask stupid questions, constantly ask why things are being done a certain way, and don’t assume that anything makes sense;• Don’t be complacent with something that is working

well. Keep looking for ways to improve, new markets to enter, new products to introduce.• Don’t play with someone else’s rules, make your

own. • Rather than penalizing mistakes, reward employees

for making the attempt to change or to try something new.

Page 13: Developing others

III. Managing ChangeB. Peoples Acceptance of Change

• People are often reluctant to change;• People are comfortable doing things the old

way;• People fear that change will result in less

favorable working conditions;• People feel out of control when confronted

with change.

III. Managing ChangeB. Peoples Acceptance of Change

1. Stages of Change (Carnall, 1990)

Stage 1: Denial – people deny that any changes will actually take place;

Stage 2: Defense – they become defensive and try to justify their positions and ways of doing things;

Stage 3: Discarding – people begin to realize not only that the organization is going to change but that the people are going to have to change as well;

Stage 4: Adaptation – people test the new system, learn how it functions, and begin to make adjustments;

Stage 5: Internalization – people have become immersed in the new culture.
