Abstract: AbstractThis paper will analyse the extent to which trust and inspirational leadership are the key levers to the successful management of change within organisations. It will examine the volatile environment within which many organisations function (Corporate Leadership Council 2001). It will look at the extent to which both the external and internal context within which organisations conduct their business influences individual choice in relation to the degree to which they will 'invest' their talents in their employing organisations. The paper will conclude that if organisations are to become serious 'players' on a global stage in the 21st century they must access and utilise ALL the talent which may have remained dormant within individuals in the organisation for many years in order to bring about successful change. They must further invest time and money nurturing inspirational leaders who can identify and 'unlock' these talents so that a competitive advantage can be gained throughout the whole organisation.
