This assignment delves into the complexities of managing strategic change within educational institutions. It draws from various sources including Sonenshein's 'untangling the role of progressive, regressive, and stability narratives', Kotter's 8-step model of change, and case studies on project changes (Zhang) and managing requirements changes (Janes et al.). The assignment also considers adaptive challenges for school leadership (Linsky & Lawrence), flexible strategic frameworks (Gupta), and leading organizational change (Anderson). It aims to provide practical insights into navigating change initiatives in educational management.
