Leadership and Organizational Change Management
LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT
(Action Learning Teams and Total Quality Management)
I strongly believe organizations need strong leadership to grow and function effectively. Organizational leadership focuses on developing leadership skills and expertise that are relevant across the organizations. The leaders should guide and coach the employees under them, provide them with an understanding to achieve organizational goals. True leaders are optimistic, empathetic and should understand the true potential of the employees working for the organization. They know how to control the individual employees or employees working in teams without dominating them. Good Leaders personally take an initiative or at least make sure the managers under them are clearly communicating the organizational mission, vision and policies and procedures to all the employees. These individuals are highly ambitious people with high energy levels and are always open for new innovative ideas and suggestions. Strong leadership builds employees morale, ensure efficient business operations. Under their expertise the employees grow professionally and contribute positively towards organizations expectations.
In my term paper below I will focus on two aspects- first is Leadership and Change Management, in which I will share my thoughts about one of my topic of interest – “Action Learning Teams” (ALT’s) and second is a “Change Management” initiative where I will discuss “Total Quality Management” (TQM) and the challenges faced by the leaders in Managing Organizational Change in a healthcare organization. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss some of the facts in healthcare industry as I am currently working in a healthcare company and also coming from healthcare background.
The book by Bruce La Rue, Paul Childs, and Kerry Larson is an easy to read, less than 200 page book that expertly intertwines Action Learning Teams (ALT’s) into knowledge management, creating
