employees in a new vision of sustainable development and the necessary change. I need to make
employees aware about the change and benefits of same. If employee understands the benefits of
changes made by organization then they will accept the changes. For becoming a responsible

workers. In addition to this, Is is important to solve their problems without making any
discrimination. Before making any changes, it is also required to consult with employees so that
they can be motivated. Being a leader, I need to provide motivation for carrying out and
motivating change. In order to successfully implement changes, I will try to to create sense of
urgency and importance in front of others. I know that change cannot happen unless the
employee is not clearly aware about their roles and strategies.

keep employees update and encourage them to accept the changes. At the time of change, I need
to be decisive and set priorities that support the change in organization. As a leader, I can hold

chance to manage the change. If leader helps in adjusting the change environment then employee
should support them. At the time of implementing the change should communicate the benefits
of it such as a way through which Change can reduce the burden of workload. Inform the all
