Based on what you should now know about “Unfreezing,” you will probably understand the role of a compelling narrative in getting people to change the way they approach their work and their level of commitment to their organization’s goals and values.
With this in mind, answer the following:
(1) What compelling narrative might work for the case you are addressing?
(2) How is this similar to changing an organization using Lewin’s 3-stage model?
Guidelines
First Post:
- Respond to the question thoroughly. This is a formal assignment with a minimum of 200-250 words.
- It should include at least one reference from relevant peer-reviewed journal articles and/or books found within the online LIRN library or other reputable sources.
- These must be properly cited in APA format. Remember you can also use your textbook.
- See your Course Summary for due dates.
Second and Third Posts:
- Reply to at least two classmates’ posts. Your response to your classmate’s discussion needs to be substantive, meaning it should add something new to the original comment, including a level of depth that enriches the discussion (i.e. reflecting on their response, applying their comment to the workplace, the literature, etc.).
- Your professor will reply to student posts and may also ask questions of the student/s, please be vigilant and address his or her concerns by replying back to your professor’s comment to your post to acknowledge understanding.
- See your Course Summary for due dates.
