The ability to change quickly and well can mean the difference between an organization thriving or dying. The ability of leaders to successfully lead through this change is paramount to fully realize its opportunities and avoid the hazards. When a major change arises, getting it right becomes imperative. Leading Change will equip leaders with the proper understanding of how successful change is created. Organizations that lead change effectively can take advantage of significant opportunities, avoid looming hazards, and thereby create enormous value.
