Human Resource Managers Impliment Effective Organizational ChangeThrough Leadership & Process Management

Abstract

Organizational restructuring has been the reaction to business trends and economic fluctuations and is a continuing, sound practice. The perception of doing business has changed and so have the awareness, expectations, and values of employees. It is evident that if organizations and managers of the future are to survive, they must continually adapt their methods of operating to new situations and a diverse workforce.

Without visionary leaders, organizational change may not work.  Old theories of authoritative leadership have proven to be ineffective in today’s environment.   Successful change must focus on tasks, bottom-up feedback, employee participation at all levels and skilled leadership. All of this is possible by transforming the organization with an organic structure comprised of innovative, democratic leaders. The U.S. has experienced many economic changes and this paper wants to focus on manufacturing that these authors believe will be on the up-swing as the trend of “Made in America,” is beginning to take hold.
