The steps are to unfreeze the status quo, the second step is movement towards the change, and the third step is refreezing the new behaviors (Kristonis, 2005). Lippitt offered a
seven-step process that expanded Lewins model. The steps are: diagnose the problem, assess motivation, asses resources, develop action plans, assign roles to change agents, maintain the change, and the change

gains to produce more change, and anchor the changes in the organizational culture (Kotter, 1996). Karlsberg and Adler (2007) identified the habits of successful change leaders: provide an inspiring
mission and a clear direction for the group, build a strong leadership team, communicate regularly and frequently, be visible during the change process, and reward performance that contributes to the
change. In any clinical setting, it is beneficial to implement evidence-based practices. A plan needs to be developed that includes action steps. Using Kotters model, a sense of urgency
