Approaches to organizational change encompass various strategies and models aimed at navigating the complexities of transforming an organization. One prevalent approach is the Lewinian model, which consists of three stages: unfreezing the current state, implementing the desired change, and refreezing the new state to make it the norm. This approach emphasizes the importance of preparing the organization for change, executing the change, and then stabilizing the new state. Another widely used model is Kotter's Eight-Step Change Model, which emphasizes creating a sense of urgency, building a guiding coalition, and fostering a culture that embraces change.

This is a noble gesture but should be approached with a few considerations in mind. One consideration is rewarding all employees alike implies ignoring factors such as seniority, job responsibilities, and employment status. It will be vital to clearly communicate how the reward was determined and how it will be distributed. Henry must also consider if a collective bargaining agreement is in place. This is a contractual agreement between an employer and a labor union that governs wages, hours, and working conditions for employees (Tyrkus & Schwartz, 2022).

Organizational changes, revolutionary or evolutionary and levels, vary in different organizations.  While some similarities are present, the culture, and leadership of an organization can impact the readiness for change. Katombe (2018) explored several change models as a "one size fits all approach" does not work (p.48).  To understand the depth and variety of change, Burke (2018) provides a comprehensive summary of levels of organizational change in Table 6.1 to highlight how and when each change would be initiated and a probable cause of resistance. (p. 135-138). Of course, resistance to change must be considered as it is often a barrier that hinders success. Therefore, examining for readiness to change might be the most important factor in initiating and implementing a change endeavor. Alolabi, Ayupp, and Dwaikat (2021) believe that connecting stakeholders with a shared belief in the necessity of change is critical and could increase buy-in.   Based on the readings and your research…
