Kotter's 8-Step Process
Kotter's 8-Step Process is a framework for implementing successful change in organizations. It consists of eight steps: creating a sense of urgency, forming a guiding coalition, developing a vision and strategy, communicating the vision, empowering broad-based action, generating short-term wins, consolidating gains, and anchoring new approaches in the culture. This structured approach helps leaders navigate the complexities of change.
The process emphasizes the importance of leadership and communication throughout each step. By following these steps, organizations can effectively manage change, reduce resistance, and ensure that new practices are sustained over time, ultimately leading to improved performance and adaptability.
