Synopsis The Icfai University Press on Change Management: People Perspectives Change is the only constant. However puzzling this statement may seem, it is absolutely true. Look around you. Does anything remain the same? Look at yourself. You are not the same person you were a moment back! You are changing every moment. Your mind keeps absorbing new information, your perception is changing, and so on. An organization is no different. Not only does it continue to change internally, but a number of external factors impinge upon it, making it necessary to bring about changes to ensure continuing relevance in the changing environment. Leaders must prepare their employees to be ready for change on a regular basis. They play a key role in gauging the environment, making sense of new developments, and reorienting the organization's plans and strategies to survive and succeed. Certain aspects such as core values and the long-term vision should be formulated in such a manner that they do not lose relevance, irrespective of change. These aspects should be clearly communicated to all the stakeholders of an organization, so that they can bond well with the organization. This book offers insights into the role of leaders, managers and HR professionals in managing organizational changes while, at the same time, taking care of the softer issues of change pertaining to the employees. The book, it is hoped, will be useful to organizational leaders, business executives, HR professionals, business students and business teachers.
