Keeping Momentum
One of the biggest challenges for leaders is to keep momentum going while implementing
change. Particularly when the culture of an organization is strong, it can be quite difficult to
fully implement the change before the momentum disappears. Sustaining momentum is
therefore critical, or employees will eventually go back into their “old ways.” Some leaders are
too quick to move on to the next challenge without making sure that the change is embedded
in the culture, people, and structure of the organization. In other words, you must make sure
that all parts of the organization are aligned with the new strategy.
Respond to the following, in a 2-3 page paper:
Why do you think many new changes at the organizational level quickly fizzle out?
What do you think is most important for HR professionals to know in order to avoid
this?
Be specific, and provide examples with references to the literature.
