assisting people to adapt those changes on both organizational as well as individual levels
(Deshler, 2016).
The statement is true that change management programme is totally dependent on the strong
leadership because its leaders responsibility to firstly adapt themselves with the
environmental change them make their team members to adapt them to with the changing
environment. Likewise, he plays many roles to retain employees for the longer duration
within the organisation (Ali, and Ivanov, 2015).
Leaders directly deal with resistance: In this, leaders with the changing environment
encourage their team members to participate in the change. Resistance takes a serious troll
