Week 5 Discussion 1: Lewin Change Model
Stage 1: Unfreeze
The first stage of the Lewin Change Model entails convincing the relevant parties that change is necessary and possible. Without a sense of an urgent need for change, people will seldom be motivated to take the first, painful steps in the right direction. For example, in my school district there has been a great deal of talk about improving the nutritional content of school lunches. This has become a hot-button political issue nation-wide and there are concerns expressed by parents and teachers alike about the poor nutrition students receive at lunchtime. After lunch, concentration is poor and the children do not have enough time to burn off their sugar highs during recess.
To create change, the entire school district must be convinced of the change. First, administrators need to be presented with evidence that children who eat more healthfully perform better on standardized tests and other performance measures. They must...
Without administrative support, the change cannot be initiated on a practical level.
Moral support is also needed. Teachers must be persuaded of the learning benefits conveyed by better nutrition. And parents' awareness must be raised regarding the fact that children can be persuaded to change their eating habits, provided they are presented with appropriate choices.
Unfreezing can prove difficult given the systematic, entrenched bureaucratic structures which exist supporting the status quo. Fast food and other unhealthy food companies support school activities and have agreements with the school which allow their products to be sold on-premises. Cafeteria staff members are used to preparing the chicken nuggets and pizza that make up most school foods. Many parents have opposed improving school lunches because they say their…

According to Lewin's model they never even got past the first age, therefore they were never able to make the changes in the first place. A merger requires
1.3. Summary of argument, Hypothesis The role of leadership styles and their applicability to the success or failure of mergers, acquisitions and alliances is the focus of this research.

Development of a Nursing Peer Review Process at Cypress Fairbanks Medical CenterTask 1: Project ProposalClinical/Organizational ProblemThe need for establishing a nursing peer review (NPR) process has been identified by researchers in the healthcare industry (Bergum, Canaan, Delemos et al., 2017). Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center currently has no NPR process in place and thus has no means by which nurses can receive peer evaluation when a patient care problem has been
The deal was immediately criticized as anti-competitive by William Kennard, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, and by the Communications Workers of America, which represents some workers at both of the merged companies. But neither government regulators nor union bureaucrats will have the slightest impact on the latest merger. They have neither the power nor the desire to oppose the plans of the giant telecommunications monopolies. More substantial opposition
Leadership, according to La Monica (1938), is when a person has authority that is recognized by others, and the person has followers/subordinates under them, who believe that the person will assist them in attaining certain goals (carrying out specific objectives for the followers). Furthermore, anyone that is willing to assist and help others could be referred to as a leader (p.8) Leaders see what others do not Most leaders have
Railroad Policy Analysis The national railroad system has been a tremendous asset to this country since its debut. Without the iron horse, our country would not have developed the means for transporting large quantities of goods from coast to coast. The changing of time has created many technological changes for the rail industry, but to a great extent these changes have been slow to be implemented. Additionally, the nation has undergone
