When implementing change, using a change model will markedly improve its chance of success. ADKAR stands for: awareness, desire, knowledge, ability and reinforcement (Prosci, n.d.). It is a change model that was developed by Jeff Hiatt. It is based on the idea that organizational change can only occur when individuals change (Prosci, n.d.). It has five steps in its process. First, awareness of the nature of the change and its necessity; including the risks of not changing and benefits of its success. Once stakeholders become aware, they must desire to change. Everyone needs to make a personal decision to support the change (Prosci, n.d.). This is done by developing strategies to promote the vision of the future and participation. Leadership needs to communicate and educate by providing training, access to information and mentoring (Prosci, n.d.). Once they have the knowledge, translating this knowledge into action is when change truly occurs. Lastly, and most importantly, reinforcement by way of sustainability strategies and mechanisms for continuous improvement are critical or else the change will inevitably fail later along the road. All this cannot be done, however, without a strong change agent, which is the change leader, me.
The role and responsibility as a change leader is to respond effectively to the issue at hand by creating and promoting a change vision and work tirelessly to see it through. When an issue occurs, a change is most often the resolution. This takes an overall vision, a plan, a team, strategy, cooperation and adaption. As a change leader, there are many roles to act as. A change leader needs to be an advocate, communicator, liaison, coach and resistance manager. In this case the leader needs to collaborate with the nurses to develop a plan and vision of the future to will ensure nurses will want to take initiative on doing what is needed to improve the TOTI times even if it means “doing more work.” Devising a plan is only the first step, implementing it is the challenging part. Using a leadership theory to aid in this process will help to effectively implement and sustain change, combat resistance and gain stakeholder support. Transformational leadership is on that requires a leader to be inspiring, motivating, and admired (O’Neill, 2013). They can work alongside their followers and motivate each other to achieving their goals; creating high performance teams and strong individual workers. Transformational leaders stand side by side with their followers and work as a team resolve issues; unlike authoritarian leaders who have absolute power and is the only decision maker (O’Neill, 2013).
