Vineet Nayar extensively 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). For example in…

OD points the work of Kurt Lewin who is regarded as a founding father of OD (Mclean, 2005) Lewin was a phycologist, hence much of his theory and models originate from the field of social psychology. The key theoretical roots of action research, group theory and change models came from Lewin’s early work (Cheung-Judge & Holbeche, 2011). They form the underpinnings of many change models including Kotter’s eight stage change model. Kotter’s (1995) was a modern evolution of Lewis ‘Three Stage’…

This process is defined as problem solving which is a transition from the problem state to the coveted outcome.

The main composition of this group is religion being a church group. We all go to Antioch community church and consider ourselves either Christians or Jesus Followers. This was an intentional result from careful recruiting at Sunday service or by ways of socialization or assimilation once a person starts to attend the Lifegroup or Section. I know when I first started to attend Lifegroup; I was not a devoted Christian. I believed in God and Jesus, but practiced no rituals or norms associated with…

Leadership is often seen as a position of power sought by many and possessed by few. In reality, a majority of leadership positions do not involve one almighty person dictating the actions of others; rather, these positions involve someone modeling the way and guiding their peers through a process. By guiding rather than dictating, a leader expands the knowledge of everyone in a group, and empowers followers to take pride in the work they do. True leadership is the process in which one grows…

The World Book dictionary defines leader as “A person, animal, or thing that leads.” Although that is the generic definition of a leader, I see a leader as more than that. A leader is not someone who just has people following, listening to him/her or someone who orders people around because to me, that isn’t a leader. That to me sounds like a ruler or dictator. To me, a leader is someone who exemplifies outstanding skills in helping a group of people and taking into consideration every group…

“With great power comes great responsibility”. In one’s lifetime, this quote is found to be true in almost all aspects of life. However, this saying fails to comprehend the views of society towards those with power. It is human nature to not welcome authority, despite the fact that it is necessary in the balance of life.
