Change is can be evaluated by the effects that it has on the major parties involved. It tends to happen when there is frustration and discontent with the present state of things. Therefore, it will push us to our personal best by causing us to learn from the change as well as our mistakes. It is the changes that we undergo that help us to effectively evolve into our new paths and a better self. Both change models help individuals go through the process of transformation by helping them to acknowledge their feelings and the internal and external factors that can influence the change permanently. The most recent change that I have intentionally made was the decision not to coach past a three year commitment to Rush club soccer. This decision …show more content…

At this point I had to come to terms that I would not be coaching my players any further and would have to step into a parent role. At points this is extremely difficult for me because I am very fond of my players and want to help them excel in the sport. It is difficult at times to let their actual coaches do the coaching, especially when there was a disagreement in coaching philosophy. Coming to terms with these changes seem to be the hardest. During the neutral zone stage, I was trying to get used to my new fond freedom and how that affected and redefined the roles of student and family. At times I found it refreshing to have more available time, and at other times I would find myself restless and bored because I have become overly efficient at multitasking and utilizing my time. I do realize that I needed to relax and give myself time to become adjusted to my newly redefined roles and time commitments. Once I become more comfortable with the new direction of my life, I might start looking into picking up hobbies that I once enjoyed on a regular basis, thus entering the new beginning stage with a newly found sense of excitement and

  • Coping with Change; Change Management Models and Philosophies

    994 Words  | 2 Pages

    Change is the only constant in life. And therefore it should be understood as part of a continuing work in progress that calls for a much broader canvas that seeks out competing voices, and works with the resulting ambiguities, contradictions and tensions of messy reality (Graetz, F. & Smith, A., 2010). In this submission I try to show that organizational change is majorly based on the environment surrounding it much more than the desire of the members or change agents working in that organization. This view diverts from that of Lippitt, (1958) who suggests that implementing planned organizational changes successfully depends on premeditated interventions intended to modify the functioning of an organization. It also diverts from the traditional approaches to organizational change that generally follow a linear, rational model in which the focus is on controllability under the stewardship of a strong leader or ‘guiding coalition (Collis, 1998). In this discussion therefore, comparison made between the different philosophies of change and I try to show that successful change implantation largely depends on an organizations appreciation of what goes on around it rather than what they have planned as a strategic direction.

  • The Importance Of Personal Change

    731 Words  | 2 Pages

    Whenever I perceive change to be necessary the words of one of my past professors rings in my ears, “Stop the world and fix it”, a motto that I have stood by many times as a form of encouragement to ignite change in myself or my environment. A particular experience comes to mind when I think about necessary change and this change was personal, something I needed to change about myself. During my freshman year of college I moved in with seven of my closest friends. Not only is living with seven other people difficult, but when I started to slowly drift away from them things became even more challenging. I was pulling back into my own world and disregarding them as individuals that I had once trusted with my life. The situation at hand was definitely a fault of the whole group, but I knew my personal contribution to the situation was not helping because I did not view myself as the problem. I viewed my friends as the perpetrators of my friendship and loyalty. As we began to further drift apart, less words were exchanged, and loneliness began to creep in and I finally realized a change needed to happen. Friendships are not

  • Top Down Vs Bottom Up Change

    1050 Words  | 3 Pages

    The transformation of a company requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of employees to adopt a new view of its future, a future they must regard as essential. Change management involves managing the process of achieving this future state. Change can be viewed from two vantage points, that of the people making the changes and that of the people experiencing the changes. In the top-down, or strategic viewpoint associated with management, the focus is on technical issues such as the investment required, the processes for implementing the change, how soon the change can be realized, and the outcome. In the bottom-up viewpoint of the employee, the focus is on what the change means to the ...

  • Why Do We Need To Change And Adaptation?

    538 Words  | 2 Pages

    Change and adaptation is a good thing because without it, the world would remain stagnant and would never improve or expand in knowledge or technology. Thomas Sowell stated “We need only recognize that particular products, skills, technologies, agricultural crops, or intellectual concepts accomplish particular purposes better than their alternatives” (Sowell). If it were not for change and adaption, the ability to accept that some practices are more advanced and more easily used then we would not advance as a society; and essentially we would not survive. Although it is difficult for some to comprehend, we all abandon certain practices of the cultures we were raised with in order to adopt more advanced practices that allow us to compete in today’s society across the world.
