Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Harry is using coercion as his approach to change implementation by threatening his employees to either accept the new work schedules or leave. This approach can lead to resistance and resentment from the employees, which may harm the overall morale and productivity in the workplace. A more effective approach would be to involve the employees in the change process and provide them with education, participation, negotiation, and support to help them better understand and adapt to the changes.
