Change Management Leadership
Leadership of Change® Volume 4
Change Management Leadership: Effective and proactive leadership is essential for successful organisational change. This book outlines the three critical leadership responsibilities to implement change: Articulate the vision, Model the new way and Intervene to ensure sustainable change.
Change Management Adoption
Leadership of Change® Volume 5
Change Management Adoption: Achieving Employee Change Adoption in a major organisation change or transformation has mixed success and the ROI benefits are not always realised. For change adoption to be successful, the leaders, sponsor and change team should support the employees through the change transition by providing Awareness, Understanding, Involvement, Learning, and Motivation for the change.
Change Management Behaviour
Leadership of Change® Volume 6
Change Management Behaviour: Sometimes in order for an organisation to successfully deliver change or transformation and achieve sustainable change and benefits realisation employee behaviour change is required. To change these behaviours, the organisation must then support the employees through the change transition by implementing five key change behaviour stages: Recognise, Redesign, Resolve, Replicate and Reinforce.
Change Management Sponsorship
Leadership of Change® Volume 7
Change Management Sponsorship: Without a proactive and effective change sponsor, most change programmes or initiatives will fail to achieve the targeted objectives. This book outlines the three critical sponsorship responsibilities to successfully implement change; Say – communicating the change, Support – providing resources and Sustain – embedding the change.
Volumes 8-10 Critique of Change Management - See No Change, Hear No Change, Speak No Change Series
Leadership of Change Volumes 8–10 (Change Management Charade®, Insanity©, and Dilettante©) are a serious critique of the change management profession with the single objective of improving organisation change implementation and success.
Change Management Charade®
Leadership of Change® Volume 8
Change Management Charade®: The charade happens when senior leadership, the change team, and others are involved in an absurd pretence intended to create a pleasant and respectable appearance of organisational change implementation. The leaders continue to focus on normal day-to-day operations, devoid of change leadership responsibilities, and are permitted to do so by the change team or consultants, who delude themselves that they can implement successful change while the leaders control critical resources, decision-making bodies and agenda time.
Change Management Insanity©
Leadership of Change® Volume 9
Change Management Insanity©: This insanity refers to the reckless tendency of organisations and their leaders to repeat unsuccessful approaches to change, expecting different results. It begins when leadership neglects to implement a robust change management framework or appoint a dedicated sponsor with gravitas. This cycle persists through neglecting critical steps such as assessing and learning from previous organisational change history, understanding individual leaders’ change standpoints, and aligning change with other organisational priorities.
Change Management Dilettante©
Leadership of Change® Volume 10
Change Management Dilettante©: Refers to an individual who engages in change management practices without a deep understanding, commitment, or passion for the discipline. They dabble in the field without serious intent or expertise. This lack of genuine engagement can contribute to high change and transformation failure rates globally. They can be identified by traits such as happy-clappy change practitioner syndrome, a superficial grasp of change management concepts, and a dependency on trendy buzzwords.
