Why do some ideas about leading change refuse to die, even when evidence contradicts them? A new research-led article defines these “dead ideas” about change as ‘ideas that have been repeatedly debunked but which nevertheless resolutely refuse to die’. These ideas retain a strong grip on organisational change research, teaching & practice & routinely appear in leadership development programmes, MBA curricula, consultancy methodologies & public policy. These “dead” ideas include: - organisational change is a top-down, linear process, driven by leaders and implemented by followers - change can be ‘managed’ like a project through predictable phases & sets of deliverables - credit successful outcomes of change to individuals in leadership positions who need to overcome employees’ resistance - resistance to change is a default human response, and not the product of people’s rational experiences under conditions of threat - people are viewed as obstacles rather than sources of insight, agency & possibility The article advocates a shift from leader-centric models to emergent, collective processes. Successful change in organisations does not come from individual “heroic” leaders, but from many people working together through "collective agency". Change is most effective when everyone is involved, using their unique strengths, making sense of the changes together & adapting as a group. It emphasises viewing change as something that unfolds through people's interactions, experiences & relationships, rather than top-down directives. The authors call for theories that prioritise human agency, identities & contextual dynamics to better address modern organisational realities: #d1e192" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… By @GjeraldOlga & colleagues.
