8. 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

10. 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.
