    1.   
    1. Introduction (a traditional intro,
    – a clear articulation of the aims and purpose of the essay, which sets out the

    2.   
    Critical analysis of organizational
    change
    • Description of MACL and its
    significance (just briefly, not too much words on this)
    • Overview of the implementation of
    Oracle system for performance appraisal
    • Identification of key actors •
    Analysis of change process (using Kotter’s 8 steps)
    • How employees felt regarding the

    3.   
    Critical reflection on own leadership practice
    and development needs (based on what you learnt and what strategies u think is
    important to be a good leader you can talk about developing the skills to
    achieve that style. Include references from the learning logs here. Development
    needs. building on the earlier argument, combined with insights from your
    Personal Learning Log, to demonstrate self-awareness in relation to your
    previous experience, current role and/or future development as a leader)
    4.   
    Conclusion and Recommendation (your own, now
    and in the future. YOUR development needs, not the organization’s. factual
    elements but be cited from the site or annual reports. Recommendation is for
    the entire essay not for each section. should be more on yourself, for your
    leadership development perspective, must be linked to leadership analysis in
    both section A and B. **Not a
    recommendation like the organization shouldn’t have done this or that. ** and don’t recommend organizations should have gone for this
    theory, or that theory.)
    First part is (Critical analysis of Organizational change)
    using models and theories to understand what happened. Like in Kotter for
    example it says creating a sense of urgency right so like whether that happened
    and if not what could be done to do that like that.. For the reflection (which
    is section B) You can say based on what happened some other approach could have
    helped or like because this didn’t happen as per the model said it wasn’t
    successful or something like that. You can first base it on the leadership
    styles in the change event. Ie. if the change event had an autocratic
    leadership style u can say if it helped with change event (I mean was implement
    faster and efficient or resistant) then you can say if this was done like this
    it could have been better implemented with literature. But if it was
    implemented well, you can say yeah I can use this approach in similar cases.
    Then u can talk about other strategies you learned in classes via logs. Logs
    has to be referenced. Like subjective realities which impact resistance, power,
    culture, ethics, morals. All that.
