You are asked to write an academic essay on the following question:
How can we as managers and leaders engage the organisations we lead in positive change? How can we ensure that they commit to a positive change agenda, and carry that through to yield a viable and sustainable result? In answering this question, you might wish to consider a number of factors, including but not limited to:
Write an explanation paper on why people might not wish to engage in change.
How barriers to change can be overcome.
Practical measures for bringing about change
Ethical aspects of change
I would like to see a combination of theoretical views and practical examples, intelligently critiqued and with a strong conclusion that shows me how you would go about bringing change into organisations.
Your essay should reflect the theoretical concepts we will discuss in the both the reading weeks and masterclass, and make appropriate reference to academic literature. You may employ a case study approach if you wish, including your own
