Leadership of Change Narratives: An Alternative Voice

Mervyn Conroy

Chapter 15 in The New Public Leadership Challenge, 2010, pp 235-250 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Public sector reform initiatives have had a chequered history with probably more black squares than white. The private sector has not fared much better. According to some researchers the failure rate of change initiatives across the board is 60–80% (Kallio et al. 2002). This suggests that current conceptualisations of change and their applications are missing something significant in their understanding of what organisational change means. The research summarised sets out to discover what is missing by drawing directly on the accounts of managers in the midst of leading the latest round of reforms to the NHS in England.
