Kotter\u2019s Model was developed by Harvard Business School Professor John Kotter, a prominent thought leader in the field of organizational change.<br \/>\nThe steps can be simplified as follows:<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>1 &#8211; Make change an urgent necessity by motivating individuals to move forward and setting realistic change-related goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2 &#8211; Build the change team by selecting the right people and placing them in appropriate positions within the organization.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3 &#8211; Form the vision by having the team work according to a simple plan, and by clarifying to team members that the future of the company or organization will be different from its past.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 &#8211; Rally support and approval by involving as many people as possible, and widely disseminate the essential information in a simple and clear manner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5 &#8211; Allow things to take their course by removing obstacles and providing ample opportunity for constructive feedback.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>6 &#8211; Ensure quick wins and short-term victories are achieved to motivate employees and contribute to their progress.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7 &#8211; Persist and persevere, as sustaining change enhances the credibility of its advocates, thereby contributing to the improvement of systems, structures, and policies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>8 &#8211;
