The Role of the Leader
Hi Class,
Selecting a change model that will effectively lead change is critical. However, when it comes to the implementation of the model and the change initiative in general, we must understand the leader’s significance. Why is it important for a leader to be a model and cheerleader of the change initiative and approach?

Leaders are role models for the staff. If they are not on board with the changes then they can not help drive those changes in the organization! Staff often look up to their leaders and follow suit with what they are doing as well. It is the leaders responsibility to share the “why” when implementing, and if not done in a way that helps increase buy in for the change initiative then the change initiative may fail.

Many people would not change if they did not have to so leaders must be a model and cheerleader of the change initiative and approach (Folkman, 2019). Left to their own devices’ individuals will continue down the road most comfortable, finding comfort in a routine. I am sure that we have all been in situations where we have asked why something is done a certain way, to get a response because we have always done it that way. Change efforts require a lot of direction and motivation. Staff must become excited about the change and that will come from the leadership driving the change. These leaders who can inspire, motivate, and encourage are the essential force in organizational change (Folkman,2019).

Good evening, Dr. E.,
I believe that we lead by example. Leaders must be creative and engage their employees. The leader that listens to their staff is an effective communicator, is honest, and develops a trusting relationship; is a positive leader. This role model encourages staff by giving feedback (cheerleader). “A recent study on transformational leadership practices revealed that the top 2 practices of chief nursing officers in Magnet organizations were “enabling others to act” and “modeling the way” (Snow, 2019).

Implementation is complex and challenging, needing creative processes to motivate people, to turn plans into actions (Suphattanakul, 2017). Leadership is an essential component needed to encourage and motivate workers’ behaviors. Organizations must focus on leaders committed to the organization’s vision and who can create, monitor, encourage, and reward throughout the change initiative. Leaders help the follower align their values with the organization’s values, promoting shared values within the organization (Singh, 2013). A transparent leader creates a safe culture for people to speak from their heads and hearts, saying what they mean. This open communication can lead to faster error correction and better decision-making. Without a leader who can build a transparent organization, where people can live with their values, employees often follow their own goals, which may be different or even conflict with those of their colleagues. Leaders have a tremendous influence on the workplace, and their styles must be strategically aligned to accommodate the organizational culture for successful change completion.
