Leadership stories - The search for meaning during times of change (Paperback)

Organisations are failing the leaders of the 21st century. Operating models are not producing business value, hierarchical structures are not conducive to productivity, inflexible strategies that are too rigid in today's ever-changing environment, and a workforce that is drowning in a sea of change has become the norm. Organisations are experiencing an identity crisis in the knowledge economy. "Why do we exist?," "What is our core business?," and "What are we aiming to achieve?" are all questions that organisations need to answer if they aspire to navigate the hyper-turbulent environment and remain sustainable into the future. Change has become an essential capability that organisations need to manage if they are to be successful into the future. Yet it is evident that leaders are ill-equipped to guide and create meaning for their followers during change journeys with an estimated 90% of change journeys not yielding return on investment. This book explores leaders' stories during a change transformation journey in order to understand and guide an organisation into the future.
