business carefully (Mui, Basit and Hassan, 2018).

they do not feel uncomfortable . Leader describes benefit of changes to all staff members so that they work better and support the leader.
Refreeze: this is last phase in which leader identify issues and find out best solution to resolve barriers and handle issues. Proper training is given by leaders to
employees so that productivity of people gets raised in changed situation (Hubball, Clarke and Pearson, 2017).
