After
two days of Mr.Abhisit’s
announcement about offering himself as a person to resolve the latest political
deadlock that has been taken place for almost six months. There are massive
criticisms from both people who support PDRC and the opposite site.
I’ve
decided to go through his interview on Youtube
in addition to understanding change management approaches. According to my
opinion, I can interpret Mr.Abhisit's
thought process in term of perspective of strategic change management.
When
we look at change management, in all kind of changes whether organizational
change, behavioral change, or even political change in this case, it is
required a higher power who say Yes-Or-No. For examples, it is required an
executive board for organizational change, unit head or so for departmental
change. Or in case of behavioral change, the person who possesses that body
would own a final word. In case of political change, military needs to be on
the side who wants to change based on the history.
I
would imagine that this could be his thought that he might have seen that this
political conflict won't end if there are no key stakeholders who hold the
actual power involved. In fact PDRC has done the same thing by setting up
appointments with many key stakeholders. It's just perhaps now they need
support from the grass root more than ever to create sense of urgency. Then the
higher power would be convinced that change is required.
Mr.Abhisit's
announcement can also be seen as an agent to stimulate people to make a
decision whether they want to support PDRC's agenda because time is running
out.
His
current position on the political conflict is a big gambling which could cost
him political life. It is very risky that he stands out to take criticism
bravely. However this is not a simple game. There could be something going on
behind the scene at the moment. And Mr.Abhisit
is part of this entire political game which needs to be ended no matter what.
There
is a plan and this is a strategic move.
