Please write a discussion page. include reference...no cover page needed........Our focus this week is on motivation for change and overcoming resistance to change in organizations. Think about the theories discussed in our readings up to this point. What are steps that you would take to motivate change and overcome resistance to change in your organization? Example.........The main step I would take to promote change is to remove the negative connotations associated with "Organizational change". Organizations need to stop thinking of change as major events (Wellbourne, 2014, p.17). Studies have shown that people go through all the stages of grief when it comes to change. A person creates resistance when they go through, shock, anger, bargaining, and depression. This has led to creating processes that are based on grief management (Wellbourne, 2014, p.18).Grief management is a slow process. It is hard to go through this process now due to change being constant (Wellbourne, 2014, p.19). OD practitioners should promote change as a normal part of an employees work duty. Marketing the changes should be seen as positive. Creating urgency in a positive way can motivate employees to move forward through the changes (Wellbourne, 2014, p.22). Welbourne, T.M. (2014).
