Identify a problem at work or school or in life that requires change. Applying Kotter’s Eight Steps for Leading Organizational Change, draft a plan for driving the change.

Team cohesion is a problem in organizations as often employees engage in disputes thus requires change. Using the Kotter`s model, first he agency for change will be created when an incidence of dispute occurs and other previous incidences reveled. Then team leaders will be involved as a coalition for change management. A vision will then be created around the organizational culture and team building. Communication channel would thus be used to pass the change message to every employee by using the integrated communication channel for internal communication where information flows from top-down and down up. Firth aspect would be to empower the entire team of employees through organizing seminars, retreats and team building outdoor events to enlighten them on the change vision. Sixth issue would involve planning for short term wins like establishing conflict management teams and dispute resolution council between the disputants. Conversely, the change vision would be built on by establishing the new organizational culture, frequent team building programmes, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Finally the change would be embraced and dividend seen in the long run through constant monitoring and evaluation.
