Question

All two questions should short answer, for the barriers only explain each point

is it important to have both accountability and rewards to support the change initiative? Why?

Answer 1

1.
It is important to set accountability as well as a reward system to bring successful change, because accountability makes people to deliver the roles and responsibilities assigned with due care and attention and reward helps add motivation to the people to get the incentives of good work. So, accountability and rewards complement each other and help change management to succeed.

2.
A.
When strategy lacks vision and ambition, then it does not bring commitment to the organisation. Further, it does not convince different functions to follow the strategy and work as a system. So, it is a barrier to strategic implementation.
B.
If there is a confusion regarding the strategy, then it lacks management commitment and willingness. As a result, strategy is not implemented properly.
C.
When strategy is exploratory in nature, then it is in the mode of need to know. It does not have any solid plan, no any futuristic aim to achieve and lack convictions to motivate the resources to work to achieve the strategic goals. It acts as a barrier.
D.
It creates an ambiguity related to the roles and responsibility w.r.t. the strategic implementation. It makes strategy to fail even before it starts the implementation process.
E.
Leaders have the responsibility to lead by example, but when a leader is going away from the sight and is not present to lead the followers, then followers become demotivated and become confused. It makes strategic implementation to be very difficult.
F.
Strategy lacking contingency planning or plan B for unforeseen challenges, will make it prone to fail if it faces uncertainty in the environment. It makes strategic implementation to be very difficult.
G.
Strategic implementation demanded close observation of each activity even if it is on a day to day basis. If not done, then obstructions will take place and strategic implementation will not happen successful.
