When all other strategies have failed, it may become necessary to use both coercion and negotiation to initiate change. Coercion involves the use of formal authority, threat of punishment or other sanctions to force change. However, this approach can lead to resistance and resentment among employees. Therefore, negotiation should also be used to explore alternatives and find common ground. This approach can help to build consensus, reduce conflict and increase the likelihood of success.
