At the very time the need for effective leadership is reaching critical proportions, Michael Fullan’s Leading in a Culture of Change provides powerful insights for moving forward.

Leading in a Culture of Change offers new and seasoned leaders’ insights into the dynamics of change and presents a unique and imaginative approach for navigating the intricacies of the change process. Michael Fullan shows how leaders in all types of organizations can accomplish their goals and become exceptional leaders.

He draws on the most current ideas and theories on the topic of effective leadership, incorporates case examples of large scale transformation, and reveals a remarkable convergence of powerful themes or, as he calls them, the five core competencies.

By integrating the five core competencies:attending to a broader moral purpose, keeping on top of the change process, cultivating relationships, sharing knowledge, and setting a vision and context for creating coherence in organizations, leaders will be empowered to deal with complex change. They will be transformed into exceptional leaders who consistently mobilize their compatriots to do important and difficult work under conditions of constant change.
