Leadership and the art of change : a practical guide to organizational transformation - BEACH (California : Sage Publications, 2006)
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 constrain 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.
