"Change is sometimes necessary to correct past failures and accomplish learning and improvement." (Lewis, 2019)

What stands out to me about this description is the acknowledgment that organizational change serves a critical purpose in addressing past failures and promoting learning and improvement. It highlights the importance of reflecting on mistakes and using them as opportunities for growth. This principle is particularly important in the context of my job as a firefighter. Let's imagine a fire department that had a big incident where things went wrong. They had problems with communication and didn't have the right equipment, which caused delays in putting out the fire. Because of this major failure, they decided to make some changes in how they do things. Now, after every operation, they have meetings to talk about what happened and figure out how to do better next time. They also bought better communication systems and gave the firefighters more training so they can work together better and respond faster. These changes would help firefighters learn from their mistakes and get better at putting out fires.

"The ability to adapt to change is a crucial factor in determining an organization's long-term success." (Colwill, 2018)

This description emphasizes the significance of adaptability in an organization's long-term success. It recognizes that in today's fast-paced and ever-changing business landscape, organizations must be capable of embracing change to remain competitive. This principle can be applied to my job as a firefighter. Our fire department faces challenges due to evolving fire dynamics, new building materials, and changing safety regulations. To ensure are long-term success, are fire department must implement organizational changes. We invest in specialized training programs and give firefighters the skills needed to handle modern fire hazards. By embracing change and adapting new strategies and practices we can effectively respond to emerging challenges and maintain the effectiveness of protecting lives and property in the community.
