Understanding both leadership and change have been recurrent and
popular themes within the business, management and organization
studies literature. However, our understanding of leadership and
organizational change in combination is far more limited. The
Leadership of Organizational Change offers a critical review of the
evolution of leadership and organizational change for the past
thirty-five years, taking stock of what we know, identifying what
we do not know, and establishing how the study of the leadership of
change should advance. In the late seventies and early eighties, as
interest in managing and leading change was fuelled by the
competitive threat of Asia in general and Japan in particular as
perceived by western businesses and governments, Burns (1978)
writing in his landmark book Leadership at this time, referred to
an intellectual crisis: "The crisis of leadership today is the
mediocrity or irresponsibility of so many of the men and women in
power, but leadership rarely rises to the full need for it. The
fundamental crisis underlying mediocrity is intellectual. If we
know all too much about our leaders, we know far too little about
leadership." While the study of managing change has benefitted from
sustained critical scrutiny, particularly in the last decade, it is
believed that this is to have been at the expense of critical
scrutiny of leading change. The Leadership of Organizational Change
critically reviews how the study of leading change has advanced
since 1978 and the crisis of intellectual mediocrity.
