Explanation

A change leader's core responsibility is to model and inspire the desired transformation, which is best captured by assigning key people to serve as role models - visible exemplars who demonstrate the new behaviors and culture the change requires.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (telling people how to do their work) describes micromanagement, not change leadership - change leaders shape culture and direction, not task-level execution.
• C (planning to fill open jobs) is a workforce planning or HR function, not a change leadership role.
• D (deciding how to give out favors) describes patronage or political behavior, which is antithetical to principled change leadership.

Memory tip: Think of a change leader as a catalyst, not a controller - their power comes from who they empower to model the change, not from issuing orders or managing logistics.
