Involvement and Leadership in an organization.
Overview:
This week addresses the topic of “empowerment” and its role in successfully leading change. We focus on the “involvement – empowerment – engagement – resistance” continuum. Leading change is about leading people, and while we might sometimes feel like there’s no other choice but to pull people along to do what we think is “best”, what do we have when we get to where we’re going?
Black says that organizational transformation is really about people transformation thus, it is important to re-engage with this concept and attempt to understand what it implies since it is so critical to successful change implementation.
