Lead or manage the change initiative

Reference no: EM13935830

The leader of your client organization has observed a lack of flexibility and a slow decision-making process in many of the departments. He believes that he is not serving his customers well, and has decided to move to a team environment and to push many of the decisions to the lowest possible levels. In other words, he wants to create a team-based, empowered organization. Several of his best managers are resisting the idea strongly. They not only feel that many employees are not ready for the change, but they also believe that they personally could never change from a "command and control" style to allowing more participation (Nahavandi, 2006, p. 54). How should the leader deal with the situation? How are leading and managing different? Is the CEO trying to lead or manage this change initiative? What arguments can he use to persuade his managers? What can he do to help his managers change their style?
