10. IMPLEMENTING CHANGE
1.First Stage : RECOGNITION
Stimulus: Initially there will be some kind
of stimulus, such as a downturn in profits
or the loss of key personnel, which will
cause the executive to consider whether
change is necessary.
Reaction: A stimulus will usually give rise
to some kind of reaction, however, it is
unlikely that one’s initial response will give
rise to anything deeper than first order
change.
Response: The four responses which are
related to mindsets are Despair, Denial,
Resistance or Consideration
11. Second Stage : DEVELOPMENT &
ACTION
Development: To progress, people not only have
to be prepared to consider new ways of
operating, they must also discard old patterns of
thinking and behaving before they genuinely try
to adopt different approaches
Full Transition: As the organization or individual
begins to master most aspects of the situation
they experience feelings of rising certainty and
capability
