I hope you'll take a look at some of the other articles as well, so you can get a sense of what Capella faculty are working on and thinking about. You'll also notice that a couple of doctoral learners' work is posted on this site... In this era if you can't manage change, manage in spite of or because of change, you are truly out of luck. Consultants who can work with people and organizations through planned or unplanned transitions will be needed! Welcome Leslie!

I am really interested in management consulting and am excited to learn through my studies what it will take to #1 become a dynamic leader who can handle changing environments as well as how to teach managers and employees at different levels how to handle change as well. Its true the only thing constant is change. I am about to enter Capella’s PhD program in Organization and management and this article really speakes to the type of professional I would want to be.

In my own <a href="http://www.performance-equations.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">practise,</a> and supported by recent research, we have foudn that both personal and organisational adaptability is a key requirement. We start from the fundamental principle that leading change is not the same as managing change. This is one reason why I thought the article captured so well the factors that leaders need to consider in themselves in order to see the change through successfully. <a href="http://www.performance-equations.co.uk/more_info.asp?current_id=85/" rel="nofollow">High performance leaders</a> exhibit a range of differentiating capabilities that enable them to build employee engagement and commitment to the change being instituted. Not only do that have highly developed personal adaptability, they are able to build <a href="http://www.performance-equations.co.uk/more_info.asp?current_id=84/" rel="nofollow">high performance cultures</a> and organisational adaptability. This core competence seems to be increasingly a requirement given the nature and speed of business change.
