Kotter's 8-Step Change Model: Kotter's 8-Step Change Model is a framework that outlines eight steps for leading change in an organization, including creating a sense of urgency, forming a powerful coalition, creating a vision for change, communicating the vision, empowering others to act on the vision, creating short-term wins, consolidating gains and producing more change, and anchoring new approaches in the organization's culture. It is particularly well-suited for organizations that are looking to implement a major change initiative.
