Recently,
the nation's top business researchers and practitioners gathered
on the University of Southern California campus. They came together
at the invitation of USC's Leadership Institute and the Center
for Effective Organizations, two of the country's premier think
tanks on leadership and change. Their mission: to collaborate
on a book that would present the most advanced ideas about the
role of leaders as they attempt to radically transform their organizations.
This elite group of thinkers, influential authors, and business
gurus shared their experiences, asked the tough questions, and
conspired to create the most up-to-date and authoritative work
on the subject. The result is The Leader's Change Handbook.
Full
of fascinating case studies, action strategies, and unbeatable
advice, The Leader's Change Handbook contains the best new thinking
from each of its distinguished contributors on the twin challenges
leaders face as they try to create leaner, more responsive organizations
while empowering their workforces. This compilation of essays
is a unique synthesis of wisdom and insight presented by a coterie
of business luminaries - David Nadler, Richard Pascale, Bob Quinn,
Christopher Bartlett, Ron Heifetz, and Susan Mohrman among them
- all working toward a common vision.
Taken
individually, each chapter offers specific solutions for executives,
managers, consultants, and human resource professionals struggling
to implement change within their organizations. Taken together,
they form a comprehensive handbook that outlines the key elements
of effective change management, expands the traditional notions
of leadership, and anticipates the future of organizational transformation.
