Abstract

In today's rapidly evolving global landscape, organizations face unprecedented challenges that require innovative approaches to implementing successful change adoption. Change failure continues to be a problem plaguing many organizations. Leadership research fails to explore how leaders with all the world's knowledge at their fingertips still manage to impede change. Leadership research focuses on how to be a good leader, how to apply leadership styles, and how to influence change through the right actions. This chapter explores unconventional approaches to leadership and informs leaders of their own potential pitfalls that contribute to change failure. Lastly, the chapter provides recommendations on ways leaders can get out of their own way and to ensure positive long lasting change.
