Increasing the driving forces and reducing the restraining forces tends to:
A)reduce the need for change.
B)unfreeze the status quo.
C)refreeze the status quo.
D)increase environmental stability.
E)equilibrium.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the driving forces and reducing the restraining forces are the key elements of Lewin's Change Management Model. These actions help in unfreezing the current state, which involves loosening the current status quo. The loosening of the current state allows change to occur, leading to an increase in environmental stability and equilibrium. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as it suggests that reducing the driving forces helps in reducing the need for change, which is not true. Option C is incorrect as it indicates a reversal of the change process. Option D and E are partially correct, but they do not fully capture the essence of the change process.
