high level of supervision,
poor motivation

tap into the ideas of employees, better decisions are made, may
operate quicker and better - consulting others take time,

are expected to obey + get the
job done how the manager
want it to be done - is held
responsible for all the decisions

Management
Model
- Resistance to Change
- Lewin's Force Field
Analysis
- In order for change to occur the
driving forces must be greater than
the restraining forces
- The equilibrium
can be changed
by either adding
forces in the
desired direction
or reduce the
opposing forces
- Kotter and Schlesinger
- Causes of resistance to change:
-individuals are concerned with
the implications for themselves -
communication problems /
inadequate information - sense
of security - different
assessments of the situation
- Overcoming resistance to change: 1) Education & Communication 2)
Participation & Involvement 3) Facilitation & Support 4) Negotiation &
Agreement 5) Manipulation & Co-option 6) Explicit & Implicit Coercion
