Managing Change - Scenario 2

Your team is assigned to fix the problem.

Managing Change - Scenario 3

The country is under economic pressure and Scouting/Guiding is seen as a waste of time and money.

Internally it is recognised that the National Leadership is responsible for this situation, but local leaders are afraid to do anything because they fear they will be kicked out. Your team is assigned with the task of planning the necessary changes.
