LEADERSHIP PREREQUISITES, ACTIONS, AND STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR IN CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: The need for organizations to become agile in terms of their structure, people competencies, processes, and technology employed has been ascertained since the 2000 Agile Manifesto. The most recent developments around the world in recent years, namely a global pandemic dramatically impacting all walks of life and old ways of work, and a war repositioning power vectors and geo-strategic interests have made the requirements for focusing more on people and their interactions, finding working solutions to stringent problems, establishing collaborative relationships with major stakeholders and working with change rather than following a set plan even more prominent. Consequently, identifying and working adequately with key areas within an organization calls for a renewed interest in the role played by organizational leadership in managing change. All of the above considered, this article overviews leadership prerequisites as informed by a select number of traditional change models, revisits the actions required on behalf of leaders as informed by Kotter’schange model and briefly y identify es a number of change management principles which can be used as standards for measuring leadership behavior.
