Research on change management pointed out how innovation is inherently associated with change and how leadership guides a team through periods of growth and development. We start by defining innovation as “a Mobius strip of culture, knowledge, imagination, resources, attitude, and habitat” through the words of Tina Seelig. Then we move to two related approaches: Lewin’s framework for change and Kotter’s Eight-Step Plan for Implementing Change. Both models provide a clear description and guidance on the process of change; in particular, they illustrate how people react when facing changes in their lives and suggest how to cope with these challenges.
