1 Reasons for Failure to Change Molly Richard Professor Jamie Birdwell Leading Organizational Change December 10, 2023
2 To: Vice President of the U.S. Branch of LLC From: Molly Richard, HR Consultant Subject: Potential Issues Hello VP, I am the HR Consultant that was hired to be able to help fix issues that were found at the U.S. Branch, such as the failure to change. I am writing to inform you about some of the reasons for failure to change which may influence the change readiness of the employees at the U.S. branch. I hope that the information I have provided for you below will be able to help positively influence the readiness for change with the employees of the U.S. Branch. Reasons for Failure to Change It is important to correct any reasons for failure to change in a company since the failure to change can negatively impact the company. The reasons of failure which I have found the most prevalent are the lack of good communication to the employees, and any negative attitudes towards change. Communication is a crucial part of a successful change and without it, the change will fail. The communication to the employees about the decided changes needs to explain exactly why the change is being made by making the change “be viewed as necessary […] and appropriate to the intended purpose” ( Leading Organizational Change ). Negative attitudes to change will also cause the changes in the company to fail. If the employees don’t want to change to occur, for whatever reason, they will not put all their effort into making the change successful, which is not good for the company. If the higher ups are not “open to the possibility that the change program might be flawed, and they treat any negative commentary as mere resistance” ( Leading Organizational Change ), which will cause tensions between the higher ups and the employees.
