Leadership and Change Management



May 2009 | 288 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Recognizing and responding to change is the oxygen of life for an organization, and leadership is fundamentally about focusing organizations on these new realities. Leadership and Change Management provides the reader with a practical, real-world understanding of several dimensions of leadership that are usually neglected in management textbooks, such as the nature of new realities and how managers can improve their insight into them, and how leaders can identify and overcome resistance to change.

 

Drawing on a wide range of insightful, global real-life case studies to capture the imagination, the topics covered include critical systems thinking, philosophies of leadership, group dynamics, authority, ethics, personal character and the psychology of leadership.

 

This comprehensive text will be of interest to anyone looking for a more thoughtful engagement with the key issues in leadership and change management.

This is a very useful text but unfortunately it was decided that the course would not run this year. The course is now under review and this text will be considered in due course.

While we felt the book had great value as a supplemental text, it lacked scope and rigor for use as the primary text. We will probably assign it as a recommended resource.

Excellent resource offering a contemporary view of the discipline. A good link between a number of pertinent areas that helps to realte ideas and make sense of many key issues.
