Leading Learning and Change 2
Introduction
The objective of the paper is to highlight details about the implementation of change
management in a business setup. The paper evaluates role of leader in implementation of change
in business environment. Leadership approaches that the leader would use to manage the change
and initiate success in the business environment. The need for change in the business setup is
also discussed in the paper. The external business environment keeps on changing on a regular
basis, due to which it is crucial for the organization to implement change management activity in
the business environment. Change management in business cannot be implementing without
adequate leadership technique in the environment. Leadership strategies would help the
organization to rectify the business conditions and change them for the benefits of the
organization only. Further, implementation plan mentioned below will help the organization to
define the procedures in which the business should implement the change management strategies
in the environment.
Adoption of leadership approach
Being an organizational leader, it is important for me to analyse the requirement of
training present in the organizational environment. With the changing environment, it has
become more important for the management to implement strategies to maintain the efficiency of
the employees in the market. Training strategies will help the employees to learn trends present
in the environment and help the business to achieve profitability as well. In the intervention of
training the employees to deal with the environment changes, the management should make use
of situational leadership approach in the business environment. This approach refers to the
leadership process in which the leadership style that has been developed by Kenneth Blanchard
and Paul Hersey, it refers to the process in which the leader of the company adjust their
leadership style on the basis of environment changes present in the external market (Lynch,
2015).
When the leaders change their style according to the changing environment so as to
convince the employees to change their activities according to the trends. These leaders motivate
the employees and influence the employees to be competitive in the environment adapt the new

features present in the environment. The situational leadership initially adopt change themselves
and then seek changes from other in the business environment. This type of leader is one who
makes most effective decision in the business environment because they focuses on analysing the
current information present in the environment and implement changes accordingly (Thompson,
& Glasø, 2015).
This style of leadership is also known as micromanagement leadership because the
leaders making use of this type of style closely supervises the external environment and activities
of its people as well. This leadership approach make use of top down approach as the leaders
first implement changes in themselves and then seek to train the employees in the business. This
leadership style involves the leaders to let employees participate in each and every decision
making process of the company and support their opinions as well. Feedback from right source is
very important for the employees as it helps them to grow personally as well as professionally.
So, the situational leadership approach helps the leaders to give feedback to the employees for
their improvement (Burnes, Hughes, & By, 2018).
Recognition of Problem
The business environment keeps on changing on the basis of external environmental
trends. The changing trends in the business can never be a problem for business until and unless
the organization is effectively adopting the changes in the internal workplace environment.
However, not growing with the upcoming trends in the environment can demolish the position of
the company just like the case of Nokia Company where the organization did not adopt
upcoming technological trends in the business environment. So, considering the case of given
business setup, it should be noted that the organization needs to change the business structure
and train the employees according to the upcoming trends in the environment (Kin, & Kareem,
2015).
The workplace include all types of employees who are experienced as well as millennial,
therefore it becomes crucial for the organization to train the employees in such a way that they
adjust with their colleagues in the environment and let each grow as well. However, it is difficult
for the leader to let the employees dissolve with each other because of their cultural differences,
generation gap and mind-set as well. Secondly, it is also important for the organization to let the
