Change Catalyst

CHANGE CATALYST 2

Evidences of knowledge acquisition

As one reflect upon the competency of Change Catalyst, a leader who operates in this com-

petency assist his or her organization and followers to a place of transition and positive change.

A Change Catalyst is aware of his organizations needs, to articulate a plan, and bring change.

According to Majumdar, S., & Mukand, S. (2008) states, “Public perceptions of the leader’s

ability and the general outlook for the prospects of change play an important role in determining

a leader’s actual effectiveness at catalyzing change” (p.3). People in organizations will buy into

change and trust leaders, seeing if the change is effective in meeting the needs of the

organization.

Interpretation of knowledge

Engaging in the leadership program, one can gain a better understanding of how important

a change catalyst in a leadership role plays to bring effective change to the needs and direction of

an organization. As a leaders ones perspective toward the change process can definitely change

as well, seeing it is needed for growth and advancement of an organization. In my LDRS 534

class, one gains more of an understanding and knowledge from the Robert Quinn book, “Deep

Change” which discussed about the choices people or organizations make and the differences

between slow death and deep change. Deep change is about being transformational, risk taking,
CHANGE CATALYST 3

and vulnerable to promote change in critical times as cultures change for the long term

sustainability of in organization. As of the opposite, Slow Death is refusing the option for

change, having no vision, and denying the denial of external criticism regarding change. In one’s

leadership development and experiences there is definitely a need for change catalyst to bring

vision and structure for change.

Furthermore regarding a change catalyst, Adaptive Theory is a leadership theory is where

leaders encourage their organizations or followers to adapt to change during problematic or

challenging times. According to Northouse (2016) explains that, “Adaptive Leadership is a

unique type of leadership that focuses on the dynamic of mobilizing people to address change”

(p. 260). As organizations face challenges and need to improve processes there definitely a need

for adaptive leaders to act as change catalyst to lead people toward positive change. In regards

toward attitudes of change, change in an organizational culture can be difficult. Individuals are

fixated on strong attitudes and assumptions, and attitudes toward work make it difficult for

change (Lakos, A., and Phipps, S. E., 2004).

Application of Knowledge

In the MAiL program, a leader has opportunities to take part and lead change processes in

one’s organization. As an employee at Azusa Pacific University, holding two leadership roles
CHANGE CATALYST 4

where change needed to be implemented to bring change and guide other employees through the

new processes in a department. In my first position at my organization, there was no accurate

description of procedures or organization of custodial procedures. So I met with leadership and

recommended in creating a procedure manual to implement change to the work process and

progress to effectively bring organization and meet the need of the department. I created a work

manual for staff and student employee to go to as a reference point for task procedures. This

custodial work manual is located in Appendix A. Also in my LDRS 534 class, I wrote a paper

recommending change to an organization which is located in Appendix B, our assignment was to

conduct interviews with members or the organization and a conduct OCAI test. After receiving

results, I would make a recommendation to the organization to implement processes for positive

change. As a scholar and student in the MAiL, I have experienced and learned why change is

needed and the importance of a change catalyst.

Creation of New Knowledge

In pursuing growth in the competency of a change catalyst, my leadership development in

MAiL I am able to confront and handle situations of change more effectively within my

organization and my leadership role. According to Bejinaru, R., & Baesu, C. (2013) states, “The

success of change depends on the way the manager cooperates with employees and various
CHANGE CATALYST 5

collaboratives, on the way he stimulates the employees to involve within the change process”

(p.131). An effective leader will have to operate as Change Catalyst in his organization as one

encounters change.

My first goal as I reflect on leadership at this current time, as a leader the goal specifically

would be to develop as a leader who is apart of the solution and guiding people through the

change process. Second goal, within the 3-5 years I would like to be employed in a position

where I am providing effective change and growth to my organization. Currently my a job

position, my leadership role I have been given the opportunity to be creative and bring change to

the work processes and lead a team, but to grow in level of leading people through change and

accomplishing goals would be a great accomplishment. My third goal, my objective in operating

as Change catalyst would be to see and communicate big picture effectively and recognize the

need of my organization and have the ability to connect and guide others as face we seasons of

change.

In conclusion, the Change catalyst is a competency in my leadership development that

would be an effective asset to leadership skill-set as I lead and face change. As an employee in a

leadership role and working with teams to accomplish a goal, I want to be able to move forward

effectively in guiding people in the process of implementing positive change.

LDRS 534

Summary of the Organizational Culture


CHANGE CATALYST 33

As I analyze the culture of Freedom University which is a non-profit Christian organization, I

conducted interviews and a OCAI instrument test by selecting employees from my organization

to participate in the testing. As I calculated the OCAI testing results and are available to the

Freedom University leadership of the current organizational culture and preferred organization in

the future. The results from the OCAI testing report provided the organization with the

recommendations to bring a positive change which would be beneficial to the organization in

meeting their educational goals, serving their university community, customer satisfaction, and

becoming innovative and efficient in the 21st century

Analysis of Organizational Current Culture Type

According to the OCAI instrument test results from all three employees, the current culture

of Freedom University is a Clan culture which is a close knit and family oriented culture.

Regarding Clan Culture, Cameron & Quinn (2011) note, “Shared values and goals, cohesion,

participative-ness, individuality, and a sense of “we-ness” permeated the Clan-type firms”(p.46).

The Freedom University has a true concern for their employees and building close relationships

is vital in building a cohesiveness in achieving it’s mission to putting God first in providing high

education standard for their students and employees, effective leadership in their staff and

faculty, and providing excellent customer service at all levels of their organization. Freedom

University provides their employees with the resources to assure best interest and wellness of

their employees by providing the insurance benefits, health and dental insurance, educational

opportunities, and job training opportunities for growth in the organization.


CHANGE CATALYST 34

According to the OCAI test results, there three other cultures that exist in a smaller margin at

Freedom University. The First culture type identified is hierarchy culture which is structured

organization and provides policies and and procedures for employees to assure all operations

being efficient and running smoothly. According to Cameron & Quinn (2011) states, “The long-

term concerns of the organization are stability, predictability, and efficiency. Formal rules and

policies hold the organization together”(p. 42). As I evaluated the culture of Freedom University

it possesses a structured leadership at all department levels who set policies for the everyday

operations of University. And the other two existing culture types are the Adhocracy Culture and

Market Culture which play an important factor in how the organization functions.

Figure 1: The OCAI results of the current culture of Freedom University

Employee 1 Employee 2 Employee 3

Figure 2: The OCAI results of the preferred culture of Freedom University

Analysis of the Preferred Organizational Culture

As I reviewed the results of the OCAI instrument test of three employee participants,

although the organization is dominantly clan culture the preferred culture is growing more

toward a adhocracy culture as the university faces the new technologies and advancements of the

21st century. As shown in (Figure 2) Freedom University is strongly being influenced by a

adhocracy culture, while remaining clan culture. Cameron & Quinn (2011) states, “It is an

organizational form that is most responsive to the hyper turbulent, ever-accelerating conditions

that increasingly typify the organizational world of the twenty century”(p. 49). Currently

Freedom University is undergoing strategic changes in their educational structure, leadership,


CHANGE CATALYST 35

operations, and departments which allows their organization to respond and meet the challenges

of the 21st century in strengthening their educational goals and developing new products and

services for the future.

It is recommended that the organization begins to implement training and programs that

would assist the combined culture shift from the dominate clan culture and increasing adhocracy

culture while strengthening the market and hierarchy cultures which are a necessity in the

organization. Increasing adhocracy culture, Freedom University will be positioned to become

innovative and efficient for the 21st Century, while maintaining the Clan culture which provides

cohesiveness and closeness in the organization.

Steps for Changing the Culture

Maintaining (Clan) Culture

I would recommend Freedom University to implement programs and community training that

will meet the needs of employees, encouraging teamwork collaboration, customer service and

create an environment that would promote efficient communication and trust, especially among

department leaders to efficiently meet the educational and operational goals of the organization. I

would also recommend stabilizing the gathering of community and valuing of employees to

express genuine care and develop cohesiveness within Freedom University. This would continue

stabilize the clan culture of family oriented and close knit culture.

Increasing a (Adhocracy) Culture

I would recommended that Freedom University begin to implement changes that would allow

creating dynamic programs that would be beneficial for our employees and customers. This will

be beneficial in increasing the participation of university community and bring about new ideas,

suggestions to develop programs, resources, and processes that would benefit the organization.

As the outcome, this would increase the promoting of quality programs to service our students,

employees, and customers will help stabilize Freedom University.

Stabilizing the Hierarchy of the Culture

It is recommended the Freedom University Presidential board and leadership review

and set into motion the rules, policies, and procedures that would the organization’s

mission in producing products and service for our customers. To assure success that there

is clear communication and decision making in maintaining an efficient and smooth

running organization within Freedom. Also, that the policies and procedures and clearly

communicated to all staff and faculty at all department levels reaffirm the mission and

direction educational goals and future direction of the organization.

Stabilizing the Market Culture

The focus Freedom University should remain on accomplishing the organization’s

mission by offering high quality educational programs for our student body and services for

customers. The marketing culture plays an important role with the variety of services the

University offers not only to students, but as well the outside community. The University offers

an on campus bookstore, eateries, print shop, coffee shop, and the financial handing for the

educational programs. And our financial officer and key personnel should not lose sight of

budget, and marketing of the organization.

Freedom University and the Future


CHANGE CATALYST 37

In order to develop a plan to securing the future of Freedom University one of the theories I

would utilize as a leader of change would be Kotter’s eight stage change process. Those steps in

the change process are establishing a sense of urgency, creating a guiding coalition, developing a

vision and strategy, communicating the change vision and strategy, communicating the change

vision, empowering employees for broad based action, generating short-term wins, consolidating

gains and producing more change, and anchoring new approaches in the culture. These steps are

instrumental in establishing the changes in future of Freedom University and stabilizing the

culture of organization.

The first step is establishing a sense of urgency. Regarding Urgency and change, Kotter

(1996) states, “ with urgency low, it’s difficult to put together a group with enough power and

credibility to guide the effort or to convince key individuals to spend the time necessary to create

and communicate a change vision”(p. 36). In order to accomplish change in employees and the

culture the urgency for change must be communicates to all level of the organization. In the case

Freedom University the culture is changing and changes must take place to experience growth

and be productive in the 21st century.

In conclusion my analysis of the organizational culture is incomplete and needs further

research, scholarly references, supportive information regarding the Kotter’s change theory, my

leadership approach, and my strategy for future change. I do recognized the culture shifts in

Freedom University and importance for change to accomplish the goals and mission of the

organization in providing quality and innovative services and products in the 21st century

society.
