Executive summary
Problem statement: Recently, Harpeth Gardens has been experiencing a lack of enough patients in
their institution even when the other elder care facilities in the area have an extensive waiting list
of patients waiting to be admitted. The issue has been linked to the governance of the previous
director, who never involved employees in decision making, demanded strict adherence to the
rules and procedures. The other issue was that he took time to hire and train new employees.
Proposed Solution: A new culture and policy need to be executed to offer more responsibility to
personnel, increase morale, lower turnover, and ensure that the empty beds are filled. To increase
employee morale, they must be involved in decision making offered days off and vacations. The
employees also have to be encouraged to work together.
Value: With all these changes, Harpeth Gardens will continue admitting new patients every day
like the trend was before. Similarly, the facility can continually offer quality care to its patients.
By treating its personnel right and minding their welfare, we can be sure that they will reciprocate
the same to the employees.
Final Thoughts and next steps: The employees are also normal human beings whose rights should
be respected. The facility ought to make employees feel I appreciated first by involving them in
decision makings. The other way is encouraging collaboration between departments. After these
two ideas succeed, then, as the new director, I can implement other changes.

Part 1
How to implement the desired changes
As the newly elected director, to ensure that the institution runs well, there are some
changes that I have to implement. I will implement the desired changes by ascertaining the
changes. The next step is developing a plan for achieving these changes. This also entails pointing
out the measures that will be used to evaluate whether these changes were completed after the
anticipated duration. Communicate the intended changes to the person before making any changes,
and also offer why the changes are necessary (Indeed Editorial Team, 2022). This way, the
personnel can feel motivated to participate in the change. The employees also have the right to
issue their feedback, if they support or not support the change; so they should also be allowed to
voice their opinions because they are also part of the institution.
In addition, creating a timeline that begins with what should be first met before the change
is executed, such as further staff training, is also essential (Editorial Team,2022). As the director,
monitoring the change is vital to ensure all the personnel adhere to the change and evaluate whether
the change implemented attracts positive or negative impacts. In this case, the intended changes
ought to positively affect the institution because the employees will now be involved in decisionmaking, and there will be more direct cooperation among departments.
