Adapted
from the Website: CoachNet. The change process The
dynamics of bringing change into an organization entails leading people
through three stages which will enable them to accept and move into the
new paradigm. Each stage is important regardless of whether the change
is large or small if successful change is to take place. Thawing,
molding, freezing model of change Thawing
stage = prepare for change + Thawing is the Spirit-led process of cultivating a readiness
for change in a church or organization by evaluating the current reality
and envisioning a preferred future. +
Allowing people adequate time in the thawing stage will
reduce resistance in the molding stage.
Molding stage = implement change +
Once the need for change has been recognized, change can
begin to happen as leaders carefully plan and implement effective
strategies. +
Change generally happens slowly. The greater the change,
the longer it will take. Forcing it to happen too quickly can sabotage a
change for the better. Freezing stage = solidify change +
The tendency to slip back into old patterns is always
present especially right after change in instituted. The key word in
insuring continuance is "internalization." +
Old habits die hard. It will take time for new habits to
form around the change. John P. Kotter in his book "Leading
Change" details eight stages in the process of change
