Sniff And Scurry

There are so many ways and reasons that people can change. You can change for love, passion, or to fit in. There are many more things that can change a person. I’m taking two stories and looking if the characters changed or stayed the same.

There are events in life, which can change yourself or your way of thinking. As for me, I think the major change in my life occurred when I moved from France to America. This change has entirely affected my personality. Why? I arrived in the United States during the summer of 2002. It was really hard for me since my parents had only told me about the move in April of that year. Therefore, I did not have the time to prepare myself psychologically. My parents had talked about coming here for a very long time, even before I was born. Everything started in 1973. Indeed, my parents came from Iran to Europe in order to finish their studies and then to return back home. However, even at that time, they had not set their mind as to where they

The Contemplation Stage and Preparation Stage of the Stages of Change Model vary greatly. In the Contemplation Stage, a person reflects on their own behavior, their ability to change, and the outcome it would bring compared to their current behavior. After a person has moved on from the Contemplation Stage, they take a step forward and begin test their ability to change by taking small steps like foreshadowing the difficulties that they will face and like the name of the stage suggest, prepare for them.

The Stages of Change Model The Stages of Change Model is one of four parts of the Transtheoretical Model of Change and looks at the steps and processes that occur in making intentional behavioral changes (Vilela, Jungerman, Laranjeira, & Callaghan, 2009). This model divides behavioral change into six stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and relapse. These stages are not linear; a person can revisit earlier stages in the process of changing. There are different tests that can be used to determine what stage a person is in.

People can change from being forced, or just wanting to transform for the better. In Charles Dickens’ classic story A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge learns to change for the better. He is accompanied by three ghosts, Past, Present and Future, that make him realize he needs to alter his actions. People can adapt mentally and physically. Their fate lies in the hands of other people willing to accept them for who they are or not. Willing to accept people that are brave enough to change is a good trait to have. Wanting a drastic transformation in your life will require assistance of showing sedulous care, perseverance, and commitment.

What are the differences with these three models? First people must realized that not one of the models is the “best” in all situations. The unfreeze phase is where employees are noticing that change is becoming more, and more necessary. Moreover, during this phase the company is preparing to change. This, entails creating the surroundings/environment in order to change, which includes informing, and involving the employees’. The change phase or more commonly referred to as the transition phase, where the company is physically in the process of making the changes to a new way of being. This particular phase is highly complicated for all employees,’involved, mainly because of the fear of the unknown. Usually, support is offered during this particular phase that consist of many opportunities and time to study and comprehend all of the changes, which are taking place inside of the company, done primarily in the way of training, education, and coaching, etc. The freeze phase or commonly more known as the Refreeze phase is where the company begins to build deserved stability, and where all changes has been set in place, and approved. In addition, it has also begin to be the new guideline and principle working inside the

The change models discussed in class provide a pattern for change and presents a picture of what will occur

The theory has 5 stages of behavior change: pre-contemplations, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. The stages of change explain when and why people change.

The final stage of the model is the refreezing phase, where the new approach is implemented stabilized and established. It will be accepted as the new norm or status quo, ensuring that people do not revert back to the old ways of thinking or doing. All of the three phases are important for successful change.

Lippitt’s Phases of Change is an extension of Lewin’s Three-Step Theory. The focus on Lippitt’s change theory is on the change agent rather than the change itself.

Lippitt’s Phases of Change Theory Lippitt, Watson, and Westley (1958) extend Lewin’s Three-Step Change Theory. Lippitt, Watson, and Westley created a seven-step theory that focuses more on the role and responsibility of the change agent than on the evolution of the change itself. Information is continuously exchanged throughout the process. The seven steps are:

Change theories. Kurt Lewin’s three step change process can be used to promote change within the units that will be affected by this DNP project. Lewin’s theory states that for change to be successful, three steps need to occur: unfreezing from the

Unfreezing raises an initial awareness of the need for change. It is the first step in the change process. As many people will resist change the goal during unfreezing is to create awareness as to how the current level is hindering the organization in some way. Old behavior, ways of thinking, procedures and process followed, Human resource, Organisation structure must be carefully examined to clarify the people in the organization the need for change to maintain competitive advantage. The Proprietor needs to convince his people the logic behind change and how it will be beneficial at Individual and Organisational level. Besides Lewin states that people should be motivated to accept change

Sniff and scurry are mice while Hem and Haw are little people. They are going through a maze on the hunt for cheese which represents what we want to have in life. The story is a representation of how different people react to change. Some expect it and easily adapt, some do not expect it at first but eventually adapt, and others simply refuse to adapt to change around them. In the book Sniff and Scurry found a room with a large amount of cheese and would return to eat it daily. Eventually the cheese ran out, but this was expected by Sniff and Scurry because they noticed changes in the cheese. They knew it would not last forever and they would eventually have to search for new

This first stage of Lewin’s change model, Unfreeze is in regards to preparing the organization to accept that change is necessary, which involves breaking down the existing ways before you can build up a new way of operating.
