Leading Transformational Change
Leading Transformational Change: Working with Uncertainty and Navigational Principles offers an examination of how best to manage organisational change in tumultuous times. Using the metaphor of ‘navigating in uncertain waters’, the book is a unique and accessible introduction to the area of leading and managing change.

Stories and real-life examples from the sea offer lively ways to apply theory to practice.

The chapters provide a deep understanding of navigational principles and step by step show how to apply this understanding to various contexts of change. Topics cover situational analysis, best managerial practice, planning, leading change, and unexpected events. Student learning is supported and reinforced with in-text reflections, discussion questions, and learning checks.

Authors writing from South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, Kenya, Mauritius, Côte D’Ivoire and Nigeria share research on indigenous wisdoms on virtue, displaying marked consensus about the communitarian nature of African virtue ethics traditions and virtues essential for a flourishing life.
