To create a positive, organizational change you start by putting people first because People fuel change and sustain its momentum. Change initiatives fail when the people

involved don’t understand, believe in, or engage in the change. Communication is an essential part of effectively managing organizational change. A vision for change is only

as powerful as the communication that supports it. Effective change management communication provides clarity for why the change is needed and mobilizes employees

with a sense of urgency for the change. Companies fail to drive meaningful change when they fail to communicate. Educate leaders on their roles, and you’ll enable them to

advance change successfully. Being proactive helps leaders manage momentum for the greatest success. Change resistance is poisonous to an organization’s transformation.

Resistance is much easier to counter when it’s identified early. Leaders should pay attention to the signs of change resistance, including inaction, procrastination, withholding information, and the spread of rumors. Some theories and styles of leadership are better

for certain work environments than others. The one that I most admire will be the visionary because its manages through inspiration and confidence that is something that i really admire because if you have confidence and what you do just imagine how far you can go with a little inspiration behind it. One scenario i can think of is when i was growing up I have aways wanted to own my own business and what i did was i started school to

try and get it started that was my first step and i made sure what i wanted to do is someting that i love and people will love to so i started looking and seeing what people like and this like so thats when i came up with making and designing my own wreath in

the way people will love them and make them happy.

Organizational change and the need for the organization to remain competitive are highly related and connected. An organization changes in order to match the changing needs in

the market and create its competitive path superior to that of competitors. In either case, competitive pressure helps employees coordinate their efforts and

implement changes to the organizational structure. These changes improve profitability by reducing costs and also by improving the firm's ability to compete. relationships with

coworkers were identified as the top driver of employee engagement, with 77% of participants listing these connections as a priority because workplace relationships are the tipping point upon which many matters important to managers and HR personnel

balance. Customers, competition, the economy, technology, political and social conditions, and resources are common external factors that influence the organization. In order for managers to react to the forces of internal and external environments, they rely

on environmental scanning.Organizations core values are also driver of change. Organizational culture has a powerful impact on the future of the organization. If work

place culture is vibrant, dynamic and leadership encourages creativity, then it is likely that organization accepts and implements change.Sometimes change in leadership is the reason behind organizational change. Every new leadership brings new vision, new

strategies and new working culture to his/her organization. So new leadership is a strong internal factor which affects change.
