Please review the post below: including questions to be asked about the post.

In 2021 the National Association of State Boards of Education began searching for a new CEO, to replace their current CEO who would be retiring. After interviewing and scouting potential candidates across the country NASBE eventually decided on bringing Paolo DeMaria into the position.

DeMaria was well known for his success as the superintendent of the state of Ohio, which lead to the decision. Paolo has a 30-year background that will help with further his work as NASBEs new CEO. The change will be a good fit for both DeMaria and NASBE as they both share the same values in furthering the education of children.

I believe that this is an adaptive change, as the change of CEO is between individuals with similar ideals, ethics and backgrounds. So it will not be threating or jarring for employees to adjust to. However there is potential for this to evolve into an innovative change depending on how DeMaria chooses to lead during his time with NASBE. There is a potential for him to introduce new practices and ethics into the company in order to grow.

In terms of values, I believe there were a few changes with the installation of DeMaria as CEO. With his tenure in education, DeMaria already shares most of the values of NASBE. DeMaria has stated that he wishes to see children be challenged in order to further their education, as well as improve overall literacy and overall development of education across the country. Which is already the goal of NASBE.

I believe this organizational change is very beneficial, both for NASBE and the entire countrys education system. Paolo DeMaria has repeatedly shown his passion for change in childrens education during his tenure as superintendent. I believe that his transition into being NASBEs CEO only opens more opportunities for there to be meaningful change in how educational organizations operate.

Its unclear if this change was successful or has had much impact as of yet. Primarily due to the fact the change is still relatively recent, with DeMaria acting in position in January of 2022.
