personal change paper
Students will submit a paper (maximum 3 pages double spaced, paragraph style, Times New Roman 12 – Template provided in Assignment folder on iLearn) detailing their key learnings about implementing this change and their applicability to implementing organizational change. In this discussion students need to integrate ideas from the course and discuss at least 4 steps from Kotter’s model. Reflection should also include how this structured model helped, and in which way it did not, how the process in general went and their awareness of their emotional reactions to the change. Please read very carefully through this. As try can see, I expect you to tie your personal project to the organizational setting. To make it even easier for you, I am proving you my grading rubric which explains exactly what is required for each category. I look forward reading your papers over the break.
