Step 7&8) Even with this success, the Atlanta terminal isn’t content
to let up. As they continue to move through the 8 Step process,
they hope to make the change permanent by anchoring these new
changes into the culture. The Iceberg Group continues to meet,
looking for other ways in which they can help the company improve
its operations, and hopefully, spread the Iceberg philosophy to other
divisions of the company

CHANGE
"Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are, for what you could become."

• A strategy to accomplish some overall goal
• May be provoked by some major outside driving force, e.g., substantial cuts in
funding
• An Organization may wish to evolve to a different level in their life cycle, e.g.
from traditional government to e-government
• Transition to a new leadership can provoke organization-wide change when his
or her new and unique personality pervades the entire organization
What is Organizational Change?
◦ It is generally considered to be an organization-wide change, as opposed to smaller changes such as adding a new person
◦ It includes the management of changes to the organizational culture, business processes, physical environment, job design / responsibilities, staff skills / knowledge and policies / procedures.
◦ When the change is fundamental and
radical, one might call it organizational
transformation

Types of Change
Type I – That which is done to us◦ Very few people like this type of change!
◦ It violates our sense of independence, freedom and control of our own destiny
◦ Most likely to resist within the context of organizational change
Type II – That which we do to ourselves◦ This type of change is very different
◦ We're in control. We're deciding for ourselves that doing something different is necessary
◦ Because it's our decision, we don't "resist" our decision to change
Type III – That which we do to others◦ Change from the other side of the fence
◦ If we're inflicting Type III Change, then it’s perceived by the receiver as Type I Change

Information
� Provide information as early and regularly as possible
� Provide the logic behind the change
� Provide the business case
� Describe the bright spots…� Not just what problem the change will solve
� Also what the future will look like and why it will be better
� Provide detailed guidance…� Need a compelling vision, and yet the devil is in the details
� Provide clarity to manage ambiguity
Change has to make sense….and the fact that change is logical is not enough….!
21
Direction
• People need to see the vision, the goal, the big picture
• They will also default to taking the easiest path…• Tweak the environment to make changing easier, and the status quo
harder
• Re-shape the path to fit the needs of the change
• Rally people in support of the change
• Be specific…• Show people the right way to do the new thing – create new habits
• Give them details
• Reduce complexity and provide simplicity and clarity
Need all three for change to be successful!
Personal and Corporate Effectiveness: Morale
� The spirits of a person or group as exhibited by confidence, cheerfulness, discipline, and willingness to perform assigned tasks.
� Morale is more influenced from the top down than from the bottom up and a group phenomenon but an individual matter.
� There is no single factor that consistently explains good or poor morale.
� High morale in a group means that most of the people in a group have a good sense of “esprit” - liveliness of mind or spirit; sprightliness.
22
Causes of Low Morale
Poor communication, lack of empowerment, lack of
energizing staff, distrust of management, poor
interpersonal relations, inflexible working conditions,
less meaningful, productive, fulfilling relationship
between staff and management.
(Dye & Garman, 2006)
Low Morale Situations
� Closures, labor negotiations and contract disputes, high employee turnover
� Rates, changes in leadership, and unclear expectations and corporate direction
� Communication that lacks clarity, focus, important details, is too infrequent
� Lacks meaning, and does not allow staff to respond and discuss their concerns can contribute to morale problems in the workplace
44
23
- High morale drives an organization forward
- Low morale feeds the fires of employee
discontent, poor performance and absenteeism
- With low morale comes a high price tag
The Consequences of Not Addressing Morale Issues in the Workplace
Decreased productivity, increased rates of absenteeism and associated costs,
increased conflicts in the work environment, increased patient complaints and
dissatisfied consumers of care, and increased employee turnover rates and
costs associated with hiring and training replacement staff
The High Cost of Low Morale
