Describe the knowledge acquired as a result of learning outside the classroom?

This is a two part essay…
1. A five page APA paper with recommendations for a change management plan directed to company leadership.
2. A one page reflective paper drawing from personal experiences to explain and justify three of the recommendations made in your APA paper.

First, familiarize yourself with the scenario that you will be using for this assessment.

” As a mid-level manager within Company X, you have been given the task of establishing a formal code of ethics for administrators for the department you lead. Several of the employees within your department have expressed reluctance about this change initiative. A number of them have been with the company for many years and have seen several change efforts fail, and they don’t see value in this one. In a situation like this, it can open up the doors for resistance to change in several ways. Some people like the status quo, because many changes that they’ve been affected by have failed. Also, when there’s a change that comes without stakeholder feedback, there’s often little buy-in. There may be a control or fear factor in the minds of some, in thinking about how this change could have an impact them. All of these things—and probably many more—are reasons why people can resist change and may be especially true in this case.
• Think about how aspects of this scenario have been present in your own professional career, personal experiences, community involvement, etc. In your reflection paper it will be important to justify your recommendations with real-world observations.
● Conduct research on organizational change to support the conclusions you will be making in your paper. You will need to include at least three academic references for this assessment.
● In particular, before developing your change plan based on Kotter’s 8-Step Process, leadership suggests that you review the following article (and the related articles shown on the page) to broaden your knowledge in the area of codes of ethics for administrators:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/code-ethics-administrators-41901.html.
