Change Through Management Hierarchy
Change
Through Management Hierarchy
Usually, the most important
changing decisions are taken by the top-level managers of the management
hierarchy. Lower-level managers and other executives are only implementing
those changes. In such a hierarchy some time misses out small details of planning.
Therefore, managers must know how to design for changes under such situations.
It is hard to implement vast
changes under a management hierarchy structure. Organizations can implement
some effective procedures to resolve this problem.
Keeping a specialized planning
unit is the solution to overcome the said problem. This planning unit occupied
with all levels of management and they are responsible for the smooth
implementation of changes.
Involving external management
consultants is an effective strategy and these consultants are skilled,
expertise, professional in executing changes successfully. Employees are often
less likely to resist changes when they are enforced and managed by outsiders.
Kurt Lewin's Three-Step Model
American psychologist Kurt Lewin has also suggested an
effective strategy to implement changes in hierarchical structures. According
to him, changes involve three steps.
