Summary/Abstract: Why is leading change important? The most basic reason is that entities, whether they be individuals, managers, teams, or organizations, that do not adapt to change in timely ways are unlikely to survive. The resistance of the change characterizing the bureaucracy in public sector’s organizations. In US, Fortune Magazine first published its list of America’s top 500 companies in 1956. Sadly, only twenty nine companies from the top 100 on the original list remain today. Survival, for any type of organization cannot be taken from granted. The most successful companies know that, to survive, they must adapt to accelerating and increasingly complex environmental dynamics. Today’s norm of pervasive change brings problems, challenges and opportunities. Those individuals, managers and organizations that recognize the inevitability of change, learn to adapt to it, and attempt to mange it, will be the most successful.
