Business, nonprofit, and public sector leaders are facing new and
daunting challenges - rapid-paced developments in technology, sudden
shifts in the marketplace, and crisis and contention in the public
arena. If they are to survive in this chaotic environment, leaders must
develop the skills they need to lead effectively no matter how fast the
world around them is changing.
Leading in a Culture of Change offers new and seasoned leaders'
insights into the dynamics of change and presents a unique and
imaginative approach for navigating the intricacies of the change
process. Michael Fullan - an internationally acclaimed expert in
organizational change - shows how leaders in all types of organizations
can accomplish their goals and become exceptional leaders. He draws on
the most current ideas and theories on the topic of effective
leadership, incorporates case examples of large scale transformation,
and reveals a remarkable convergence of powerful themes, or as he calls
them, the five core competencies.
By integrating the five core competencies - attending to a broader moral
purpose, keeping on top of the change process, cultivating
relationships, sharing knowledge, and setting a vision and context for
creating coherence in organizations - leaders will be empowered to deal
with complex change. They will be transformed into exceptional leaders
who consistently mobilize their compatriots to do important and
difficult work under conditions of constant change.
