Defining Change
• Change is defined as a means of adapting the organization to survive in an ever-changing external environment (Porras and Silvers, 1991)
• Change is the key source of learning
“In a time of constant change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.”
-Eric Hoffer, American social writer
Leading Change
• Change can be a continuous, episodic or punctuated initiative that comes about as the result of actions by leadership (Weick and Quinn, 1999)
• Change can be either radical or incremental• Punctuated equilibrium (Gersick, 1991)
The Learning Paradox
• Chaos versus Order Paradox• Chaos Leadership Theory
highlighted the leader’s role in “managing this chaos.” (Uhl-Bien, Marion, and McKelvey, 2004)
• Complexity Leadership Theory highlighted the leader’s role as serving three important roles as a part of a broader system in which he has no control. (Schneider and Somers, 2006)– Administrative Leadership– Adaptive Leadership– Enabling Leadership
