This theory states that an individual’s intention to perform a specific behavior will determine the individual’s performance of that behavior. This means that an individual must have a positive attitude towards that behavior for a change to occur. Another theory call the Rogers’ diffusion theory describes five stages of innovation. This theory states that leaders must change to focus time and resources to work on making employees aware of all aspects of change. They must then address the attitudes and emotions of their employees about the change. The finally must assess the skills needed for change. There are five attitudes affected by change.

It is best practice for an organization to have a strategic plan.

Strategic plans provide a road map of where the organization is going and how to get there. The strategy change cycle is a strategic management process used to link planning and implementation and ensures that strategic managing is an ongoing process. There are ten steps in this process. This process is also known as a strategic planning model. The first step is to Initiate the strategic planning process and agree on a process. During this step, the individuals must identify top decision makers and stakeholders who need to be involved. The second step is to identify organizational mandates. Mandates are formal and informal requirements, restrictions and constraints that the organization may face. The third step is to clarify the organization’s mission, vision, and values. This step allows stakeholders to better understand the purpose of the organization (Bryson 2011 pp. 7 -
