Plan, implement, and evaluate organizational change

With the growing influence of the external environment on internal operations, organizations need to be able to adapt and change. Managers at all levels must diagnose organizational issues, develop a compelling vision, engage others in this collective journey, and bring change to fruition. This book helps leaders, managers, and students do just that.
