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. The situation becomes an absurd charade, with twelve protagonists playing their part, but true commitment to change remains lacking. The appearance of busy progress is maintained, even though genuine change or transformation is elusive.

​

Leadership of Change® Volume 8 outlines the consequences of failed organisational change, which are direct and undeniable, affecting not only organisations but society as a whole. The book explores the twelve key protagonists involved in the pretence of change implementation. The author explores the primary causes of this charade, along with the associated risks and unintended consequences faced by each protagonist. Senior leaders merely pay lip service to change, delivering hollow speeches about new initiatives that ultimately yield little impact. Others may have a dilettante approach and offer simplistic solutions that sound motivating when working with change receptive employees. Their approach to change underestimates the significant effort and dedication needed from an exceptional team; it requires broad collaboration among stakeholders and must be driven by effective, proactive change leadership and sponsorship. This volume exposes the absurdity of this pretence and calls for a genuine leadership of change revolution to break the cycle of futile change management.

The consequences of failed organisational change are direct and undeniable, affecting not only organisations but society as a whole. Change is an accelerating force, and now more than ever, we need leadership of change excellence. Unfortunately, we are far from excellent. The charade begins when the senior leadership team prioritises current normal day-to-day operations and delegates the future of the organisation to an ill-equipped change team. Senior leaders often pay mere lip service to change initiatives, delivering hollow speeches about shiny new projects that ultimately go nowhere. Twelve key protagonists contribute to this charade, perpetuating the absurd pretence of effective organisational change implementation. This book exposes the absurdity of this pretence and calls for a genuine leadership of change revolution to break the cycle of futile change management.​
