Change is one of the unavoidable and fundamental elements of any organization. Change is a vital component of our daily lives, not just in organizations. In this aspect, I agree with you when you say that change permits us to be shaped into the individuals God intended us to be from the start. In reality, God knows we will make mistakes since none of us is flawless. The concept of change becomes significant in this context. When you say that establishing an organization from the ground up is a good argument; it is of vital importance to incorporate organizational developmental process of core values and ethics in every aspect. Some of the key factors that shape ethics include personal feelings, motivations, as well as values. In this case, you are able to give a well-articulated example whereby you indicate that in an organizational development process, we tend to see people in any industry changing and evolving for the better.

Further, you have been able to highlight key factors that are directly related and crucial to change. In this regard, motivation acts as the epicenter of enhancing change. Thus, consultants and managers in an organization should develop a framework through which people are able to change with less difficulty (Anderson, 2017). Also, managers should come up with strategy to enhance cooperation among the teams as way of enhancing solidarity. Achieving solidarity helps in building an efficient and effective team. Thus, leadership acts as the backbone of effective change. In summary, you have provided concise discussion full of illustrations and examples.
