Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on kotter model of change. For change to take place effectively, it is usually important to first convince all the stakeholders of the need for the change (Kotter 1996, p.36). I will therefore begin by explaining to the staff the importance of extending the school opening hours and the benefits that will accrue to them because of the extension. The benefits will include increased wages because of the increase in the working hours and increased interaction time with the children that will imply increase performance among other benefits. After convincing the staff, I will step in to explain to the parents the disadvantages associated with the few working hours that currently prevail and the need for the children to have more time in school. I will also elaborate to them the essence of the children being provided with meals and sleep period after the opening hours have been extended. All this will help in creating a sense of urgency among the stakeholders, which will be fundamental for the success of the entire process (Sabri, Gupta & Beitler 2007, p.177)

According to systems theory of management, organizations are composed of many interrelating sub-systems all of which are important for the general success of the firm. There is a thus a need of identifying the influential people in the different levels of the staff, parents and in all other groups of stakeholders who will be involved in the change of the opening hours. The identified group of influential people will act as the change leaders in the school and will continue creating momentum around the change in the school opening hours. This will make the people identify themselves with the change and consequently act as the initiators of the changing process of the school system (Cameron & Green 2012, p.187)
