Individual Successes and Organisational Change

Introduction

The organizational structure of Lincoln Financial Group will be observed and analyzed. The goals and achievements, including a number of other most important aspects have been thoroughly discussed in this paper. Various questions concerning Company's meritorious progress, its numerous achievements, future planning, and current position as compared to its competitors all over the world, future threats and the like have also been answered in this paper. The organizational structure of the Lincoln Financial Group has been formulated in such a manner that the implementation of their strategies has become profitable for the company. The organizational structure of any company depends upon the framework on which the authorities run a company. The structure consists of goals and achievements thus the measurement of achievements and goals help the authorities to analyze the position where they stand (Lincoln Financial Group)(Cilliers, 1998, 98).

Over the past few decades large-scale organization change has become a way of life in American business. TQM, cycle-time reduction, process re-engineering, theory of constraints, and general flattening of the organization have, at various times, led the parade of favored approaches to organization change. But many organization change initiatives, in these or other forms, have failed to deliver promises of increased productivity and morale, decreased costs, decreased waste, and increased customer satisfaction. A sad result of these failures has been to reinforce fear, defensiveness, and cynicism among people at work toward organization change efforts. Proactive management and leaders think change by recognizing that "change" challenges people to adapt and grow, or be swept away aside as complacent and obsolete. To compete in the world today, we must strive to be different. We must expand our knowledge base, sharpen our skills, and finally, manage our time more efficiently. Change is not something to fear or resist, it is the essence of life itself. By embracing and promoting positive change, we learn more about who we are and what we can do both at home and within our organizations. With change, we are given the chance and power to turn today's pain into tomorrow's gains(McShane-Von, 2003, 321).

This Scholarly Paper will highlight the significance of change within an organization. More specifically, it will attempt to disclose why change is complicated, and often an extremely painful process. Secondly, it will dive into the three stages of change: (1) Unfreezing the behavior (2) Changing the behavior (3) Refreezing the behavior. We will first discuss briefly how change can be complicated in today's organizations.
