Change is inevitable! Successful organizations thrive because they have a vision, a mission and a strategy, and when faced with change they are quick to take action. They are successful because they understand their clients' needs, respond to their employees and react to the changing times. One sure way to success is the way organizational change is managed. Change is nearly unattainable without leadership support and a strong management team. Leaders are a foundation to the success of an organization.
