Description
Tremendous forces for change are radically reshaping the world of work. Disruptive innovations, radical thinking, new business models, and resource scarcity are impacting every business sector. Although the scale of expected change is not unprecedented, what is unique is the pervasive nature of the change and its accelerating pace. While structures, systems, processes, and strategies are relatively simple to understand and even fix, people are more complex. Change can have a different impact on each individual, which can cause different attitudes and reactions.
Managing and Leading People through Organizational Change provides a critical analysis of change and transformation in organizations from both a theoretical and practical perspective. It addresses the individual, team, and organizational issues of leading and managing people before, during and after change, using case studies and interviews with people from organizations in different industries across the globe. Each chapter includes learning objectives, boxed summaries, diagrams/models, case examples with questions, exercises, and a list of references and further reading.

Featured Reviews
Managing and Leading People Through Organizational Change by Julie Hodges is a great book for any Masters student studying Leadership and Change module and also Managing People in the Organisation module (both of which I am studying at the minute). Hodges explains the difference in styles of changes ie planned or emergent, as well as proactive and reactive among other (these terminologies are all relevant to MSc and MBA students learning). Hodges also discusses Kotter's accelerator model and write about cultures and change. Excellent academic book.
Hodge's book is a great source of reference and offers a wealth of knowledge and advice for managers and organisations going though changes or hoping to implement change within their own organisational structures/departments. I will be recommending this book to fellow students and also to my college lecturers.
I am reviewing this book for the September-October issue of Global Business and Organizational Excellence.
