ASSIGNMENT DETAILS/ GRADING CRITERIA:
1. Evidenced-based Leadership Change project:
Instructions for Leadership Change Paper:
Observe your environment in the health care facility where you have clinical and monitor the site for
signs and symptoms of the need for change. Look at the nursing processes in place: do they work
efficiently, are infection control practices being done routinely. Anything can be a catalyst for change
as long as it adds something positive to the establishment. Then, diagnose the problem that
indicates a need for change.
1. Pick a change theory. Lewin's change theory is used widely in nursing. Despite this fact, there are
many other change theories you can use like Spradley's theory of change, Lippitts change theory or
Roger's theory of change. Pick the ones that best suit the change you are trying to bring about.
2. Put a plan together. Using your selected change theory, develop a plan based on each step of the
theory you have chosen. Your plan should address what you will do to solve the problem you have
diagnosed. It should include activities that will combat the problem and bring about change, a
method to measure the success of the plan such as a quiz and a way to make the change
permanent. Be sure to include a timeline or timetable for your change project. It needs to have a
beginning and an end.
3. Type a 4-5 page double-spaced, APA formatted professional paper that describes your project
and submit to your instructor at the end of the semester. The paper has to include:
An introduction: Brief description of the issue & Purpose of the paper
Assessment of the environment which needs to be changed: Current practice, organizational
structure, deriving and restraining forces, advantages of change, cost and resources for
implementing the change.
