The leadership approaches that are most effective in change are presented. Explanations of why wide involvement is necessary and the methods to produce that kind of engagement are provided. Organizational culture is explored both as an enabler and barrier to change as well as how to leverage the
benefits of the culture and minimize its barriers to the change.
