2. Critical Analysis of the role of the leader in workplace change processes ( on Hand washing improvement)

Critically discuss the role of the leader in facilitating any change process in the workplace. This could be discussed in relation to a health related area but could more generally examine the components of sustainable change and the role of the leader and leadership styles covered in this unit. Use of relevant literature is expected, including some references from each of the three modules, as well as literature specific to the change to support the analysis and critical discussion.

This could include:

· the role of the leader in change processes

· workplace culture and its relevance to workplace change

· the importance of consideration of an organisation’s vision, mission and strategic goals when considering workplace change

· analysis of a change theory and its importance in the planning and implementation of any change.

· the barriers and facilitators to the success of this change and how the leader can manage these.

For both topics, you are expected to write a scholarly essay that explores the chosen topic in a critical manner and demonstrate your understanding of the ideas and concepts related to leading organisational performance improvement or change. You are also required to demonstrate an ability to apply these ideas and concepts to the program being discussed.

It is expected that you will use the accepted format for an academic essay including:

· an introduction with a thesis statement

· sections made up of a number of paragraphs that address each of the assignment points and

· a comprehensive conclusion.

· APA referencing
