It is essential to reduce complacency and increase urgency by developing a vision that others will encompass. With the economy in our society today, people are keeping their jobs even if they do not have job satisfaction.

(Kotter, Pg 48) Job satisfaction correlates with Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Related to the Job. Maslow’s needs include physiological, safety and security, belongingness, social and love.
This will save time in the long run, which should encourage most employees despite their initial frustration with the management system change. A series of training and preparation with individualized tutorials might mitigate some anticipated resistance. Inadequate communication may also cause resistance. Management will make the major decisions with regard to the scheduled change; it is their obligation to clarify these decisions to subordinates within the company. Management is also expected to properly handle the inevitable questions and grievances; it is important to avoid misinterpretation regarding the procedural
Kirton then states that family background may not have the greatest influence on participation. One must ask if a second sampling of interviewees would produce similar results. Union and Workplace experiences both proved to be factors in the sample’s willingness to engage in trade unionism. Union activity within the workforce creates positive interactions and belief within the labour movement, promoting transition from passive membership to engaged participation. However, negative interactions, experienced or witnessed, created a need for some participants to increase their activity, turning to active collectivism as a tool to affect the change they felt their
Grace has a lot of way to walk in order to become in a great leader. First of all, I believe she should work in her self-confidence. At some point, I felt she was about to give up trying to lead her own friends because she felt they didn't respect her as a boss. That’s also an immature reaction. Talking about some skills, she need to learns how to differentiate between knowing her coworkers' feelings and control them so the work environment is not affected with the external situation.

Let me fist began with accountability. Accountability is major part of being successful in life and in your career. It seems like in society, people are just looking for any avenue possible to shift the blame and not take responsibilities for their own actions.

She and her collaborators asked bosses to rate how extroverted they considered themselves and then studied how their teams worked. They found that extroverts were more dominant, drove conversations and were less receptive to new ideas. Introverts, on the other hand, listened to ideas, internalized them and were able to improve team performance. Gino said that introverts demonstrate superior performance when they are leading a team of proactive workers.
