A Question of Leadership: Leading Organizational Change in Times of Crisis

Whether planned or unexpected, change presents leaders with their toughest sustained challenges – regardless of the leader’s seniority or the organization’s size. For many leaders, change brings drama – and the replaying of familiar stories.
