Details

This is a book destined for leaders who wish to implement change more intelligently and effortlessly. Drawing on a combination of rigorous research and extensive organizational experience, the authors present a framework for leading change, Changing Leadership , that describes the specific leader practices they have found make the biggest difference between success and failure in implementing high magnitude change. In doing all of this, the leader works to make change happen in the day to day activity and conversations of the organization.

"…this book will enable organisations to make substantial performance improvements in change leadership." (Government Opportunities, March 2008)

"Rowland and Higgs argue that what leaders do determines half of change implementation success." (Gulf Business, October 2008)
