Problem 1

Thank you for your contribution. Change and transition are terms that we take for granted and it is assumed that they are interchangeable (Goksoy, 2016). When you break them down into their core elements, change is an event, while transition is a psychological process that individuals experience (Goksoy, 2016; Bridges, 1986). Understanding the foundations of a change process will aid leaders in facilitating organizational change effectively. As mentioned in your dialogue, communication is a key skill for leadership. Alavi and Gill (2017) examined authentic leadership in organizational change. One component of authentic leadership is that open conversation develops relational transparency. Transparency drives more change-oriented commitment and creates an environment that encourages others to share ideas (Alavi & Gill, 2017).

What leadership style(s) would you consider to be favorable to followers when faced with organizational change?

Problem 2

Nice post! I am a firm believer in effective communication. Effective communication promotes trust between leaders and employees. When leaders set standards, they form positive role models in the organization. Effective communication increases employee engagement in an organization. Leaders need to see the value in employees during change management employees can provide useful feedback to improve the organization.

Do you think in your change management situation that feedback from current employees would benefit the organization during the changes?
