Change The Way You Lead Change: Leadership Strategies That Really Work.

Change means that there are strong pressures on an organization to significantly move away from the usual way of doing things. Change is something started by a leader to achieve a desired objective by modifying peoples’ behaviors or routines. Models of change used to focus exclusively on how the organization should change. This book looks at: what needs to be changed, who will do the changing, what are the internal and external contexts of the change, and then examines how the organization should change. Employees resist change when they don’t understand it, when they don’t value it, and when they can’t meet the demands on them to change.
