Leading Organizational Change

Abstract

Almost all organizations require some form of change to keep up with globalization and current technological trends to enhance development. However, the implementation of change in most organizations is greeted with high resistance if it is not correctly introduced and implemented. Robbins and Delenzo (2001) define change as the alteration of an organization’s environmental structure, technology or people. Fullan (1992) also asserted that change is the process of learning new ideas and things and he further mention that the process of change is complex, and organizational leadership must exercise great circumspection when implementing change. This analysis includes a discussion of the importance of change in organizations and the role of leadership in the implementation of change.
