It is often claimed that 70% of organizational change efforts fail,
despite the popularity of linear change models. However these linear
approaches to change are often based on the premise that change is
predictable and straightforward, when actually change is complex, with
the 'human' element often changing the functioning of the organizational
system as a whole.
Leading Change provides the practical framework that allows
leaders to actively engage with a complex adaptive system to bring about
successful organizational change. Supported by academic research, and
grounded with a range of examples and cases, the book offers a genuine,
viable alternative to existing approaches.
