Reimagining Organizational Change (Routledge Focus on Business and Management)

This engaging and thought-provoking book offers a rich, multifaceted approach to mastering leadership and driving organizational change. With its extensive, playful and insightful use of cartoons, thought-provoking debriefs, and practical self-assessments, the book is designed to be not only a guide but an experience, turning the often-complex topics of leadership and change into accessible, memorable images. Each chapter is filled with illustrations that not only lighten the mood but also provide deeper insights into the psychological and organizational dynamics at play in bringing about change.

At the heart of the book lies a comprehensive and dynamic 5M framework that reimagines the change process as the Mindful Mobilization of Maps, Masks, and Mirrors. This framework is designed to challenge traditional approaches to change, offering fresh perspectives on how to navigate the often murky waters of organizational transformation.

Whether you are a student looking to navigate the complexities of organizational theory, a consultant seeking fresh strategies to introduce and communicate change, or a lecturer hoping to inspire your students with innovative teaching methods, this book provides an entertaining, insightful and memorable resource and guide.
