Read Step 5 “Empower Action” (attached) from Kotter and
Cohen’s The Heart of Change and the previous essays for this project attached “BUS575_RyalsWAssignment.” Please make sure you have a full understanding of the changes occuring and the end result for this project before starting on the essay. This essay will need to flow effortlessly with the others as it is a project. Also, use the same formatting and paragraph style as the previous essays.
Next, compile Part 6 of your project, explaining what actions you and your team
will take to empower people to take action. How will you remove boss barriers,
system barriers, information barriers, and barriers of the mind? How will you
‘retool’ the boss? You may find page 121 helpful in reviewing the key points of
what to do and not do when empowering action. Be sure your paper touches on the
key elements of each as they pertain to your organization.
Be sure to include at least three scholarly
references to support your assertions written in your own words. Do not copy
word for word from the course text or any other sources. Your submission this
week is Part 6 of the final project.
