John Kotter

Often, creating value requires significant change. John Kotter concluded in his book "A force for Change: How Leadership Differs from Management" (1990) that there are eight reasons why many change processes fail:

• Allowing too much complacency

• Failing to build a substantial coalition

• Understanding the need for a clear vision

• Failing to clearly communicate the vision

• Permitting roadblocks against the vision

• Not planning and getting short-term wins

• Declaring victory too soon

• Not anchoring changes in corporate culture

To prevent making these mistakes, Kotter created the following eight change phases model:

1. Establish a sense of urgency

2. Create a coalition

3. Develop a clear vision

4. Share the vision

5. Empower people to clear obstacles

6. Secure short-term wins

7. Consolidate and keep moving

8. Anchor the change

According to Kotter, it is crucial to follow the eight phases of change in the above exact sequence.
