Introduction

A strategic leader must develop sensing networks, expand the target audience, gather and broaden the power base, alert the organization that change is coming, actively manage the planning and execution processes by linking every day-to-day action to the vision for change, continually communicate the vision for change to key internal and external constituencies, know about and plan for overcoming resistance, and be prepared for unexpected but necessary mid-course corrections.

What type of change is needed?
The answer depends on the nature of changes in the environment, how well strategic leaders have scanned the environment and anticipated the need for change, and the nature of the organization itself.
