The new edition of the best-selling guide for powerful,
morally-grounded change leadership in any organization.
Change is an inevitable, essential part of the modern world. Change
prevents stagnation, fosters creative solutions, and propels innovation.
With change comes challenges: to survive and prosper, organizations need
to adapt to shifting market dynamics, volatility in the public arena,
disruptions brought on by new technologies, and many more. Leaders need
to understand the dynamics of change to cope with the complexities of
the change process. Leading in a Culture of Change describes the key
dimensions of leadership that are crucial in times of change. This
innovative guide helps readers master the five components of change
leadership--moral purpose, understanding change, building relationships,
creating and sharing knowledge, and creating coherence--and mobilize
others to accomplish shared goals in often difficult conditions.

change and navigate the end-to-end change process. The second edition is

successful change and includes more precise definitions of the core

and practical application, and increased guidance on their effective use
through new concrete examples. Combining knowledge from the worlds of
