In 1969, Dr. Elisabeth K\u00fcbler-Ross wrote about the \u201c5 Stages of Death\u201d also known as the \u201c5 Stages of Grief\u00ae\u201d , \u201c5 Stages of Loss\u00ae\u201d , or just \u201cThe 5 Stages.\u201d She identified these stages as defence mechanisms or coping mechanisms to change, loss, and\/or shock. The stages were not meant to describe a linear or step-by-step process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nonetheless, these 5 stages have been laid out as Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance, as this is a common path in understanding how people react emotionally to significant change or loss. It is one of the most widely used models in organisational change efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the perspective of organisational transformation, this model provides a good basis for managers and leaders to understand how their teams will react, and to identify and react to problems early before they escalate and become real issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
