Leadership as a driver for organizational change

Journal Title: Business Ethics and Leadership (BEL) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

The paper aims to review the dominating literature and recent findings on leadership phenomenon and its role in organizational change. The studies in the sphere of strategic management, organizational theories and social development theories were analyzed to reveal the main features of the leadership. A four-element model for leadership change is proposed, mostly based on the mediating role of trans-formational leader. The change forces are presented as a combination of transformational leader, the change agents, the change operators and the environment (including endogenous and exogenous fac-tors). As an alternative for competition between transformational leaders and transactional leaders, this paper introduces network leadership, more beneficial in terms of rapid organizational transformation.
