SLP2 BUS503 Organization Change and Transformation
Module 2 SLP
Individual Resistance to Change
As we have established, resistance to change occurs at various levels: Individual, group, and organization. Moreover, resistance to change is both a workplace and a personal phenomenon. Therefore, organizational change theory applies in both contexts.
For Module 2 SLP, you will consider either a personal or workplace situation in which you resisted change.
In a well-written 3- to 4-page paper, to include 2 scholarly sources from the Module 2 Background and Required and Optional Readings List, please respond to the following:
Part One: (Description): Describe a situation in which you resisted a personal or an organizational (workplace) change.
Part Two (Application and Analysis):
- Identify the specific reasons that contributed to your resistance to change.
- What measures, if any, were taken (by yourself, by others, by top leadership, etc.) to decrease resistance to change?
- What was the outcome of the change, and how were the concerns you identified in question 1 of Part 2, resolved?
Part Three (Insights): Now that you have a better understanding as to why individuals resist change,
- What insights have you gained that would affect how you would approach this change today?
- What have you learned that you can use to enhance your ability to lead change?
- Will you approach the change process differently in the future?
SLP Assignment Expectations
- Your SLP should be 3 to 4 pages in length (not including Title and Reference pages).
- Be sure to cite and reference (using APA Style) a minimum of 2 scholarly sources listed in the Course Materials and Bibliography (Module 2 required and Optional Reading List), or in the Module 2 Background Page: Required and Optional Readings.
