OCL 6400 - Foundations in Organizational Change Leadership
This course provides an overview of the Organizational Change Leadership (OCL) function in an organization and an overview of the whole OCL curriculum. The ability to lead and manage effective change in diverse domestic and cross-cultural contexts is one of the most sought after skills among managers and leaders working in today’s organizations. Many researchers and practitioners believe that in order to lead effective change, one needs to be a theoretician, a manager, and a consultant. In other words, today’s change leaders must know how to use theory to understand the organizational changes they encounter and lead; be able to apply change management principles to their change initiatives; and be skilled at diagnosing organizational problems and developing recommendations for improvement, using global/cross-cultural perspectives. Topics include organizational change theory, levels of organizational change, organizational change models, resistance, and change leadership.
