There is need then after the belief to try and remove any obstacles that may be there. These obstacles could be some people resisting this change or the structures that there are could be a barrier to the changes that are being advocated for. One should put the structures for change and strive to remove the obstacles that could be there. The removal of such obstacles will act as a big booster to the people who are ready to support the vision and keep the change process moving forward. Step 6 -- create short-term wins; bearing the motivating aspect of success, there is need to make the people feel the benefits and successes of the change as days go by and not waiting till the very end which could be quite far for some participants, but can be made more practical by allowing them to see the step-by-step gains and benefits as the vision moves along. This is a measure against those who may be out to negatively criticize the changes as they progress. This can be achieved through establishment of short tern goals that are practical ad have almost 100% chance of being achieved.
