of steps it takes from deciding that the change needs to be made, to finally arriving at the destination when change is made.
In the "Ten Commandments," Kanter, along with colleagues Stein and Jick, first suggest an analysis for the need for change; creation of a shared vision; separation from the past; creation
of a sense of urgency; support of a strong leader; lining up political sponsorship; crafting an implementation plan; developing enabling structures; communicating others and finally, reinforcing and institutionalizing change.
An even longer list of change "musts" comes in Leppitts model, who suggests that context be understood; that the vision and strategy are
understood; creation and communicating the urgency for change; building consensus, establishing clear leadership; building organizational capability; creating a cultural fit to ensure the change lasts; choosing and developing a change
leader; retain motivation through "small wins," communicating change constantly; measuring the change process and integrating lessons learned from the change. Somewhat shorter are
Andersons nine phases: preparing to lead the change; creating vision, commitment and capacity; assessing the situation to determine design requirements; designing the desired state; analyzing the impact; planning for implementation;
rewarding behavior that supports change, disengaging from the old stuff; communicating the image of the future and using multiple leverage points. Finally, we
have the smallest number of steps through Lights model. First, the sense of urgency needs to be crated; then barriers to success removed; champions recruited; internal momentum recruited; proof that
