SOLUTION
Regarding change management and decision making, a manager plays a crucial role in both processes. In change management, a manager must assess the need for change, create a plan to implement it, communicate the changes to all stakeholders, and ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, they must be able to lead their team through the changes and address any resistance to the change.
In decision making, a manager must weigh various options and consider the potential impact on the company and its employees before making a final decision. They must also be able to communicate the decision effectively to those who are affected by it.
