1. Discuss the role of the manager or the leader in the assessment of the movement of the
organization through the transition phase of the change.
The report by the different organizations has analyzed the different denominators that
lead the successful changes during the transitional phase of the change recorded in any
organization. The managers in this respect play a very important role in analyzing the initiatives
of the daily works. The manager will also possess the ability to lead their employees in that
direction where the employees will become the most important deciding factor of the
organizational changes. A defined framework of the organizational changes and the phase of
transition observed in any organization will allow the managers to lead through the different
changes that the organizations will face in the present context (Jack et.al 2019).
The model on the change management tools will specifically guide the managers that will
recognize the factor of the change through mainly two organizational perspectives where the first
one lies in the preparation of the different individuals associated in the organization and leading
the employees present in the organization through the different phases of the change. The
preparation of the different individuals will be mainly prominent in the staff and the mid-level
employees of the organization where the managers will remain unaware of the different level of
the changes that will take place in the organizational context (Schiro & Neelin, 2019).

the organization. This is exactly the situation where the initial phases of the change management

The five reasons why resistance becomes important in the transition phase of any
organization are:
 Lack of Communication: The core management of any company rests on the basic
premise of the good communication media among the different staff of the organization.
So lack or any type of disruption in the communication media will lead to the increase in
the resistance level in the organization. Therefore the meetings and the different agenda
of any organization will depend on the effective mode of communication among the
members.
 The threats losing job: The employees resist the idea of the change in the transition
phase of the organization because of their job security measures. For many employees the
idea of change have the similar connotation with the concepts of the downsizing
measures that will make the factor of resistance a natural response to the different
changes taking place in the workplace environment (Kim, et.al 2018).
 Misunderstanding created by new roles: The changes that occur in any organization
also gives this response too many employees that their job roles and the different types of
the job responsibilities will shift as well that can create the increased level of the anxiety
among the different employees working in an organization (Kozachenko et,al 2016).
 Poor alignment of the reward systems: Resistance in the organizational context also
rise because of the poor form of the reward distribution system. The employees working
