Exercise 1: Why is there a need to change Management and Leadership styles in schools?

     "What is constant in this world is CHANGE." I usually heard this quotations to most leaders I've known. Everything is changing with the change of time and with the change of administrations especially to our school where I am presently connected. Organizations or schools, be it small or medium or large in size, need to accept the change with a flexible attitude. Change can be felt within the culture of the organization, among different departments or programs of the school/organization.
      The need of change management and leadership styles in schools is a huge challenge for school especially if the change is not effectively managed... there's always negative resistance and negative impact to the employees. Too many believe that change management stops with budgetary planning. But if the change is effectively managed, precisely, the employees have a solid understanding of why change is happening, they're able to engage in both the solution and the change. Though, there is resistance but well identified and dealt with early in the process... and because of that changes are less painful to the employees as well as to the organization as a whole.
