Change intervention
As a participant in organizational development, it is important to understand the methods for developing a successful change intervention. Having properly gathered and vetted data takes time and planning. Once the data is obtained and analyzed, the doing phase begins. The doing phase is heavily involved and requires consistent intervention. Once the doing phase is completed, the checking stage begins. The checking stage determines the success of the intervention and the sustainability of the change.
For this discussion, you are to comprehensively define and describe each phase of action research. Using the course textbook as the resource (see attached document), clearly review each phase including the various models, theorists, and templates used during the process.
Pick one action phase and defend its importance to the other two phases and the overall intervention during a change process. Use the Ashford University Library to research your choice and support your position. Include a minimum of two sources.

Organizational leaders
In this assignment, you will be asked to consider the role of organizational leaders with respect to ensuring companies work to create an ethical workplace culture. It is important for all upper-level leaders to ‘walk the talk’ so to speak. In addition, many larger companies have a Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer who provides leadership and oversight to the company’s business ethics-related endeavors. Recall that Lockheed Martin has such an executive-level position. However, not all companies have such a position. In this assignment, you will be asked to discuss the contributions of executive leaders and of the Ethics Officer with respect to building an organization that values workplace ethics.
What do you believe are the most important characteristics of ethical leadership?
