Week 5 - Discussion 1

Leading Organizational Change

As this week’s material points out, we are living in times of immense change. One of the essential tasks of an organization’s leadership is to lead organizations in a way that ensures that the entire organization is committed to the change and that support mechanisms are in place to sustain change. Research several online industries that are currently stressed by changing marketplaces and demographics: the newspaper and publishing Industries, entertainment media outlets, brick and mortar retail, and even campus bookstores.

  • Choose an organization within one of the industries listed above, or one of your own choosing that is currently impacted by a changing marketplace.
  • How would you apply Kotter’s eights steps toward leading change within that organization?
  • Provide examples of the desired outcomes and support mechanisms you would utilize.

Adaptive Leadership

Adaptive work is accomplished by finding a solution to seemingly intractable problems facing leaders; the solution is neither technical, nor obvious. As the material illustrates, leaders must motivate organization members to face demanding situations that arise from the organization’s own culture and values. Using the organization you chose within this week’s first discussion, analyze an adaptive challenge facing this organization.

  • Describe the adaptive work that needs to be accomplished.
  • Analyze your approach to resolving the problem. Be certain to include questions that would arise, and what trade-offs may be required in your analysis.
  • Describe the desired outcome.

Adaptive work will lead to a change in the organization's beliefs, values as well as
operations. In this scenario, the adaptive work that needs to be accomplished is establishing new
technological resources within the organization. This will help the members of the organization
to perform tasks in an organized and effective manner while at the same time improving
efficiency. The organization's leaders will need to motivate the organizational members to
become part of this particular initiative (Heifetz,2020). It would be vital to properly define the
situation within the organization, which in this scenario is a lack of sufficient technological
resources within the company. It would be necessary to consider significant investments in
technology for better outcomes in the organization's operations. If this is to be realized, it will be
necessary to investigate which technologies will benefit the organizatio...
