Topic- Leadership for Change
Introduction
In the current scenario of complex business environment, the change is considered to
be one of the major challenges which is impacting the effectiveness of the companies. The
key to evolution of the different companies is to analyse how well the companies are capable
of adapting to the different changes which can be structural or financial in nature. In such
scenario, the leadership plays a vital role in the different kinds of transitions and it is
considered to be the most influential aspect in managing such kind of changes and it can be
implemented in a successful manner. As commented by Al-Haddad and Kotnour (2015,
p.262), the change management is considered to be process, techniques or tools which helps
in managing changes in an appropriate manner for achieving the required business outcome.
Considering the actual fact that the organizational change as well as leadership are widely
defined which needs to be incorporated in the companies for generating positive outcomes
and improve the scenario of the business effectively. The aim and purpose of the research
report is to identify the importance of effective leadership in managing change in the
company efficiently.
Overview of Change Management Process and Leadership
As commented by Cameron and Green (2019, p.1), change management is defined as
the discipline which assists in guiding how to prepare, equip as well as support the companies
and individuals working in the company to cope and adapt to the different changes
successfully. It will be driving towards the organizational outcomes and success. While all
the different changes are unique and the different individuals are unique in nature, in such
kind of condition, the higher officials of the company need to influence the people in their
own individual transitions. The process helps in providing structured type of approach which
helps them in supporting individuals in the company for moving from the current state to the
future endeavours. Moreover, as opined by Chaudhry (2018, p.90), the leadership is the most
significant aspect as the leader with approaches, vision and authority will be suitable for
managing the process of change successfully.
