MBA 687 Module Seven Memo Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

Your efforts at finalizing the Change Management toolkit are appreciated by the vice president (VP) and management team of the

U.S. branch of the Singaporean so�ware solu�ons provider. The earlier submissions you shared, including a change readiness report

presenta�on on employee engagement and a report on change management models, have convinced leadership about your

exper�se at planning the required organiza�onal change.

You also shared the change management plan last week, which iden�fies stakeholders of significance, outlines strategic goals, and

recommends steps and strategies to implement the organiza�onal changes required. While the VP applauded the details of the plan,

members of the leadership team have been sending you ques�ons about their role in change implementa�on.

As an experienced HR consultant, you decide it’s best to collate your responses to their queries. You decide to send a memo with

some model leadership behaviors expected during change implementa�on. You will also emphasize that the leadership team needs

to own the change management plan and the role of HR is that of a facilitator rather than a leader of change.

Prompt

Write a memo to the company leadership. In your memo, emphasize the need for model leadership behavior, especially during crisis

or �mes of significant change. Also, emphasize that the role of HR is that of a change facilitator, as opposed to a change leader.

Specifically, you must address the following criteria:

Describe the need for model leadership behavior during �mes of organiza�onal change.

What are model leadership behaviors that should be encouraged across the organiza�on at any �me?

How should leaders inspire the workforce to cul�vate an environment that encourages knowledge sharing?

Explain how leaders should coach and mentor employees as the workforce transi�ons through change.

How is a change leader different from a stakeholder of change?

How can change leaders coach and mentor the workforce to deal with change?

Describe the role of HR as a facilitator of change.

How correct is it to expect HR to lead rather than facilitate change?

How exactly is a change facilitator different from a change leader?

Guidelines for Submission

Submit a 2- to 3-page Word document using double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Include

references cited in APA format. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more informa�on on cita�ons.
