Question Answered step-by-step Consider this scenario: You are a team member of a guiding team thathas recently been tasked by your change agent/leader to implement a certain change. The leader explains that he/she has a great idea on how to implement this change and wants to implement’s Lewin’s 3-step change model (what I call the freezer method). The leader outlines in a power point briefing that this is a good opportunity to shine and wants to see good production from staff.One of the team members (a vocal critic) provides feedback to the leader in front of staff and says that there is a better way to implement change using Kotter and Cohen’s 8-step method. The staff members says that this change would be more efficient, save money and time. The staff member has IRON-CLAD proof that this will work and has buy-in from all stakeholders.The leader/change agent becomes offended and argues that Lewin’s method is better but cannot supply reasons. The leader says we are going to do it his way, enough said.What would you do? Would you: -Go along what the leader says to do, because after all he/she is in charge and that is all that matters? -Would you try to reason with the leader to see if he will consider additional input? -Would you go above him/her to their boss (this could burn bridges)? -Other suggestions?What would you do?
