People Considerations

• Capacity – do people have the skills, knowledge, ability to change?• Psychology –

are people emotionally ready to change? Letting go of the past Ready for the future

• Failing to manage the psychological process causes resistance to change; awareness of negatives should be factored in

The Change Agent- (some) Styles of Leadership

1. Visionary Leadership – Leader sets direction by creating a vision that engages people. People share the dream. Conclusion from the study authors: this best practice leadership style is probably the overall most effective style, especially the higher in the organization one progresses.

2. Democratic – Inclusion and participation show that each member is valued by this leader. This is particularly effective when the leader is genuinely looking for ideas or seeking to secure buy-in for a potential change. At some point, however, if consensus cannot be reached the leader must make the decision and move ahead. 6. Commanding – Leader provides clear direction and makes all decisions. It can be useful temporarily in a crisis, to jump-start a new initiative, or with a problem employee, but use of the commanding style should be very limited.
