Describe each of the three stages of the 3-Stage Approach for Generating Organizational Change.
What will be an ideal response?
The first stage is unfreezing. The leader first provides a compelling reason for why change is necessary and important. The leader needs to provide a credible reason, either a threat or an opportunity, as to why employees need to embrace change. The next stage is change. The leader here needs to provide a reasonable plan for dealing with the change, and oversee the implementation of this plan. It is important for the leader to build support with key power groups within the organization and to anticipate and, if possible, preempt resistance. The last step is refreezing. Once the change has been accomplished, it is important that there is no backsliding and it stays in place. This means making sure that the new behaviors and processes are firmly embedded into the organization.
