Most books on leadership and organizational change focus on
descriptive theory and research, simplistic and questionable
gimmicks, or biographical sketches of successful leaders whose
character and exploits students are encouraged to emulate.
Leadership and the Art of Change avoids pedantry, gimmicks, and
hero worship while addressing the complex issues involved in trying
to lead an organization. It does not bury the reader in
abstractions, nor does it offer quick fixes. Leadership and the Art
of Change is a unique book in that it focuses on a leader's central
and most daunting task-achieving organizational change that
successfully addresses external and internal threats and
opportunities. Author Lee R. Beach uses six prime responsibilities
as the framework for discussing change leadership: external and
internal environmental assessment to identify required changes,
organizational culture as a constraint on change, vision for
motivating change; plans as a map for change, implementation to
produce change, and follow-through for institutionalizing achieved
changes and making ongoing change a part of the culture. Key
Features: Defines leadership as the art of producing changes in an
organization's environment, its culture, and its practices in
pursuit of survival and prosperity Explains the importance of
organizational culture as the key to facilitating or inhibiting
change Examines methods for building a vision and leveraging
culture in order to move the organization toward the vision with
implementation strategies Offers self-summary exercises as well as
a new episode of an ongoing vignette in each chapter that helps
readers understand the issues under consideration Includes
appendices that provide students with hands-on tools to do
marketing research, survey an organization's culture, and perform
decision analyses Written in a conversational manner, Leadership
and the Art of Change is an engaging textbook for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students studying management in a
variety of programs including Business, Public Administration,
Health Care Management, and Social Work. It will also be of
interest to professional managers looking for a unique perspective
on organizational change.
