"That's not my job!" "My boss won't let me." "Let me go ask my supervisor." "That's outside my authority." We've all heard reasons why we are unable to complete a task.

Chances are, they are very real reasons that are impeding our progress toward change. To make our change efforts effective, we must be sure we are supporting and empowering the individuals in our group to actually do what we are asking them to do.

Specific questions or items to address:

Read Step 5 "Empower Action" from Kotter and Cohen's The Heart of Change. Compile Step 5 using Part 1-4 to read as one complete paper, explaining what actions you and your team will take to empower people to take action.

How will you remove boss barriers, system barriers, information barriers, and barriers of the mind? How will you ‘retool' the boss?

You may find the area under "Empower Action" helpful in reviewing the key points of what to do and not do when empowering action. Be sure your paper touches on the key elements of each as they pertain to your organization.

You should talk about your call to action - how will you get people to act? Please remember to discuss what barriers you may face and how you will remove them, as well as if you might need to retool the boss. If you are not sure what this means or what the barriers are, you are in luck! It's all in your text!
