Introduction
What is the role of Leadership in Change Management? In today’s VUCA world, none of the organizations can afford to stand still. There would always be new ways, new challenges to meet and new outcomes. Every change, thus, needs to be planned and implemented using a structured approach.
This also needs to have a buy-in from the leadership who would further cascade it to other levels of the organization for seamless execution of projects, the transition from only meeting the client requirements to achieving excellence in the deliveries and better employee engagement.
The first step to ensure seamless management of change into the businesses is to train the leadership team so that they become the guiding light for each citizen of the company. This would be possible once they are themselves comfortable and understand what needs to be done by them for the business to remain competitive.
