Great video and explanation, I do have one comment regarding the disadvantage ( top-down model ), Step number 2 is building a coalition which comes before step 3 "create a vision" this means that the coalition can be formed by key stakeholders including front-line employees whom will have a say in the vision and the means to reach it, removing in a way the sense of the top-down approach. Thank you again 👍💙

What happens when you have a leadership team that demonstrates inconsistencies in holding individuals responsible for not moving toward change initiatives. For instance, leadership agrees to a process, rubrics are created and its communicated across the organization that individuals will be assessed on a monthly basis according to the distributed rubrics with a set goal target date. Individuals then begin to weigh in, dig their heels in and start tearing apart the assessments so then leadership cancels the initiative that was originally agreed upon by leadership and reverts to having no standard and assessments not continuing. This practice happens more often than NOT when communicated expectations occur after being agreed upon my Management and then their subordinates complain about what is expected (always finding some type of reason) and so management gives in to not holding them to a standard and just kills the idea of the initial expectation. This repeated behavior with indecisiveness demonstrates to individuals across the organization that they can always challenge management/leadership on anything will require assessment and they'll just drop the requirement and assessments won't occur.

Can you speak on what happens when there is this type of dynamic that lacks consistency, accountability, follow-through repeatedly on initiatives? I'm trying to find some case studies where no matter the effort implemented in accordance to several change models and expert opinions that resistance to change remains strong and people are just plain dead set on sticking together to resist the change.

How are these situations handled when it's all the lower- level workers sticking together, just refusing to adopt change? Even after you've engaged them and made them feel that their input mattered that initially drove the expectation to follow a standard? They go along with it until it is implemented but then when in motion challenge authority because they know there are strength in numbers and they'll be able to have the initiative cancelled and no longer followed.

Here is my suggestion: replace the Change management with Provide great Customer Service. Then, monitor the compounding effect.

Wonder book, professionalists vs idiots in the leading positions. When the change is made to late than you also loss employees.
