CHANGE SYNOPSIS
The study of change management and innovation is a perplexing and challenging undertaking. A review of the current business literature reveals that change management practices and its approaches are currently insufficient to counteract the challenges associated with leading and driving change within organizations today.
The problems associated with leading organizational change are prevalent. These problems are evidenced by a dismal failure rate – a failure rate that equates to one-half to two-thirds of all major corporate changes failing (Maurer, 1996), and a 90% failure rate when the focus of change is cultural in nature (Atkinson, 2005).
The challenges are nothing new. At the outset, business leaders eagerly cast a vision for improving a business function or process, set a plan in order to achieve the vision, and then quickly discover that although the change is necessary, they are uncertain as to how to achieve the vision. Frequently they discover their employees resist the change and the time and money invested to turn their vision into success falls on deaf ears with chaos finally ensuing.
The real problem of change management is leadership. Change has less to do with technique as it does what it exposes; rather than necessarily creating chaos, it reveals it. And if the notions of the pundits of modern day leadership are correct and it is true that everything rises and falls on leadership, then it requires true leaders and demands that leadership be earned versus presumed.
