Leadership and the Art of Change: A Practical Guide to Organizational Transformation

Leadership and the Art of Change is a unique book in that it focuses on a leader′
s central and most daunting task--achieving organizational change that successfully addresses external and internal threats and opportunities. Author Lee R. Beach uses six prime responsibilities as the framework for discussing change leadership: external and internal environmental assessment to identify required changes, organizational culture as a constraint on change, vision for motivating change
plans as a map for change, implementation to produce change, and follow-through for institutionalizing achieved changes and making ongoing change a part of the culture.
