N2  - "Leadership and the Art of Change is a unique book in that it focuses on a leader's central and most daunting task - achieving organizational change that successfully addresses external and internal threats and opportunities. Author Lee Roy Beach uses six prime responsibilities as the framework for discussing change leadership: external and internal environmental assessment to identify required changes, organizational culture as a constraint on change, vision for motivating change, plans as a map for change, implementation to produce change, and follow-through for institutionalizing achieved changes and making ongoing change a part of the culture." "Written in a conversational manner, Leadership and the Art of Change is a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying management in a variety of programs including Business, Public Administration, Health Care Management, and Social Work. It will also be of interest to professional managers looking for a unique perspective on organizational change."--BOOK JACKET
