SCENARIO: https://forio.com/app/harvard/change-management/#/…

           When doing the simulation, I was able to get all twenty employees to support my ideas both as CEO and as director. I created urgency about the matter by sending emails to everyone in the organization, showing them the significance of the forthcoming change (Doppelt & McDonough, 2017). This urgency for change enabled the employees to stand by me. In addition, as director, I made the CEO stand by my decision which greatly influenced the outcome (Doppelt & McDonough, 2017). However, I was afraid of making decisions, to begin with, since I was afraid of failure. This fear led me to waste a lot of valuable time performing time-consuming private interviews, which did not bear any fruit.
