Leadership of Change®
Leadership of Change® - Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) emphasises that successful organisational change is driven by effective and proactive, capable leadership. It highlights the critical role of leaders in articulating a clear vision, modelling the new way, and intervening to ensure sustainable change or transformation. It emphasises that organisational change management is one of the most complex professional roles, as effectively navigating change can help organisations not only thrive but also survive in this era of rapid technological advancement. The purpose is to build a profession that matches the massive complexity of organisational change management with effective, proactive leaders, those who reject both change management dilettantism and acts of insanity and who expose the global charade unfolding daily in organisations.
