Kotter's Eight Steps

Kotter’s Eight Steps are a guide for successfully leading change in an organization. First, create a sense of urgency to motivate people. Then, form a strong team to support the change. Develop a clear vision and strategy to guide efforts. Communicate this vision widely to gain buy-in. Empower others by removing obstacles and encouraging actions aligned with the change. Generate short-term wins to build momentum. Consolidate gains by integrating new approaches into the culture. Lastly, anchor the new practices in the organization’s values to ensure lasting change.
