A role model can be defined as “a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people” (Collins English Dictionary).

However this won't happen because there are many good role models. One of the best way to find a good role model is to read a book. Books are full of great role models not just for kids but adults too. Three characters from books that teach life lessons are Cassie who teaches to stay positive, Four who teaches to hold on…

followed the change models proposed by Lewin and Kotter. Kurt Lewin developed a three stage model of planned change that discusses how to initiate, manage, and stabilize the change process. The three relevant stages are known as unfreezing in which you create a motivation to change, changing, by implementing your new strategies and structure in place, and refreezing in which you support and maintain your change (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2013).
