Kotter 7 Consolidate Gains and Produce More Change More change, not less: The guiding coalition uses the credibility afforded by short term wins to tackle additional and bigger change projects. More help: Additional people are brought in and developed to help with all the changes. Leadership from senior management: Senior people focus on maintaining clarity of purpose for the overall project and keeping urgency up.

Kotter 7 Consolidate Gains and Produce More Change Project management and leadership from below: lower ranks in the hierarchy provide leadership and management for projects. Reduction of unnecessary interdependencies: To make change easier, leaders identify and eliminate unnecessary interdependencies

13. Copyright © 2015 New Teacher Center. All Rights Reserved. Kotter 7 Resistance: Always Waiting to Reassert Itself “Irrational and political resistance to change never fully dissipates. Even if you are successful in the early stages of transformation, you often don’t win over the self centered person who is appalled when the change encroaches on his/her turf, or the narrowly focused who can’t fathom why you want to spend so much time worrying about customers.”

15. Copyright © 2015 New Teacher Center. All Rights Reserved. Kotter 8 Anchoring Change in Culture Comes last, not first: Most alterations in norms and shared values come at the end of the transformation process. Depends on results: New approaches usually sink into a culture only after it’s very clear that they work and are superior to the old method.

16. Copyright © 2015 New Teacher Center. All Rights Reserved. Kotter 8 Anchoring Change in Culture Requires a lot of talk: Without verbal instruction and support, people are often reluctant to admit the validity of new practices. May involve turnover: Sometimes the only way to change culture is to change key people. Makes decision on succession crucial: If promotion processes are not changed to be compatible with new practices, the old culture will reassert itself.
