Explain how the sport organization responded to societal pressure and expectations of the surrounding society related to the event or incident.

Overview: This milestone examines the reaction by the organization to the event or incident. Both societal pressures and the law impact how organizations proceed following an incident. Individuals involved, as well as those observing, critique the responses of an organization subjectively, but all have recommendations for how to deal with a future incident, and this milestone is asking for those recommendations. This milestone is critical in preparing you to complete the Press Release portion of your final project, which will be submitted in Module Nine. Prompt: Submit a draft of the Organization’s Response portion of your final project. This draft should include an analysis of how the organization responded, including their response to societal pressure, how effective the response was, what laws and/or policies (both internal and external) impacted the organization’s response, and recommendations for how the organization may prepare to minimize future incidents. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

IV. Organization’s Response Next, you will examine how the organization reacted to the event or incident and evaluate the success of the response. This information will inform your press release. Therefore, you need to:

A.

 

Explain how the sport organization responded to societal pressure and expectations of the surrounding society related to the event or incident. B. Evaluate the effectiveness of the sport organization’s response to the event or incident. Provide evidence to support your response. C. Determine the specific laws and/or policies (both internal and external) that impacted how the sport organization approached resolving the

selected event or incident. Provide examples to support your response. D. Formulate recommendations for how the sport organization can prepare itself internally to avoid future incidents or for when society shifts its

expectations of the organization.

How might you work to shift your colleagues’ dissatisfaction and disengagement and support them in their roles as change agents?

Discussion 2: Strategies for Stakeholder Trust in Change

Reversing the trend of dissatisfaction and disengagement must be at the heart of any serious reform effort. (Fullan, 2016, p. 97)

Imagine you have just taken on the role as leader of an educational program in your specialization and have been told to implement a change process that is part of a district initiative. As a new leader, you have yet to establish trust with your colleagues, so that when you start to implement the initiative, you are surprised to get immediate push back from your colleagues. How might you work to shift your colleagues’ dissatisfaction and disengagement and support them in their roles as change agents? What leadership strategies would win the trust of your colleagues and help them see the merits of the initiative?

For this Discussion, you will analyze evidence-based strategies to establish stakeholder trust and buy-in for change and counteract resistance to change.

To prepare:

· Review the assigned chapters in the Fullan (2016) text. Consider the difference between adopting an innovative program, the complexity of actually implementing it, and why stakeholders resist change.

· Read the Gurley, Peters, & Collins (2015); Day, Gu, & Sammons (2016); Covey (2009); and Adams & Miskell (2016) articles. Think about the process of initiating and implementing change, the influence of leadership on change, and how to gain buy-in and trust from stakeholders throughout the change process.

· Reflect on experiences you have had in your professional practice where staff were resistant to a change in your specialization. What attempts were made by leadership to establish trust and buy-in for the change? What strategies were (or were not) used when staff members refused or pushed back during implementation? As a leader, what strategies would you have employed?

· Research evidence-based strategies for establishing trust and buy-in from staff prior to implementing change and for supporting staff when they resist changes during implementation.

By Day 5 of Week 6

Post an explanation of the following:

· Background information on an experience from your professional practice where staff were resisting a change in a program or practice in your specialization

· At least two strategies you would have used to establish trust and buy-in from the staff prior to implementing the change. Provide a research-supported rationale for your selected strategies.

· At least two strategies you would have employed when staff members refused or pushed back during implementation of the change process. Provide a research-supported rationale for your selected strategies.

For this Discussion, and all scholarly writing in this course and throughout your program, you will be required to use APA style and provide reference citations.

Compare cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Choose  two (2) questions to answer. Each answer should be one typed double-spaced page in length.

Indicate, in full, by question number, the question you are answering. You do not have to copy out the question. Submit your answers in order. Your answer to each question is expected to be about one typed double-spaced page in length. You must use complete sentences and proper grammar.
