Innovation in the digital age depends on effective change leadership
Historically, leaders across R&D have been accountable to drive change through a traditional top-down change management approach. However, this paradigm of leaders driving all change is becoming obsolete. A new model, dubbed change leadership, focuses on development opportunities that unleash the full potential of people across the organization to evolve culture and drive the change. Following this approach, senior leaders of today should be accountable for designing the vision and providing the framework to their teams, rather than being solely responsible for driving change and owning all the work associated with change.
