CHANGE LEADER2
Introduction
A change leadership refers to the ability of a person to motivate and influence others
through sharing the vision and by providing the employees necessary access to all resources that
are required for carrying out the change. According to Peter Senge and Holland, a change leader
is a person who continuously lives in a creative tension between the present reality and the
organizational vision. Personal mastery according to Peter Senge refers to the ability of an
individual to learn and it includes a set of practices and principles that helps then to learn. The
change leader accountability model discusses about the interconnection between personal change
that is possible through personal mastery and organizational change1. It is further based on the
concept that organizational change is dependent upon individual change. The main aim of the
paper is to identify that intersection in our organization in which there exists highest level of
tension and for identification of the same the Holland’s types of tensions will be studied. The
paper will therefore discuss about the highest degree of tension at the intersection point and
recommend a leadership model for demonstrating the potential leverage.
