Which action will have the greatest impact on the successful implementation of a planned change?
1. Disciplining individuals who continue to be resisters to the change
2. Ensuring there are no remaining pockets of disagreement when the change occurs
3. Continually rewarding those working toward the change and ignoring those who are not
4. Creating a supportive environment for those undergoing the change
4
Rationale 1: It is true that in some cases resisters are so disruptive that they must be disciplined. This is not the best method of assuring successful implementation of a change.
Rationale 2: It is unlikely that everyone affected by the change will see it as positive. Attempts to ensure that everyone is happy with the change are generally a waste of energy and resources.
Rationale 3: Rewards can be positive, but ignoring resisters is dangerous.
Rationale 4: A supportive work environment for those experiencing the change is the strategy most likely to result in an easier transition.
