Critically analyze why change management as a discipline is important.

How does the problem manifest in this situation. What are the events/facts in the case that stem from the problem. In other words: what are the symptoms of the problem?

Leadership Case

Clearly articulate the problem (one key problem). For example, if you go to a doctor and say: I have a runny nose, I have a sore throat, and my head hurts – the MD will, based on their expertise in the field, state that the overreaching problem is the flu (and not that your nose is runny which is only a symptom of the problem). Similarly here, once you identify all the issues/symptoms – based on the expertise you have from this class – identity the overreaching problem.

o State the problem (Support your statement with class material – why is this a problem? Emotional control/maturity, culture, leadership, organizational change, bureaucracy, perceptions, power dynamics/powerlessness etc.)

o How does the problem manifest in this situation (Facts from the case) – what are the events/facts in the case (i.e. runny nose) that stem from the problem. In other words: what are the symptoms of the problem?

o What are the consequences (i.e. How may this problem influence others, the organization, teams etc.). (Conclusions based on identified facts)
