It provides that leaders must do the right thing by continually improving and changing to stay ahead of competitors. The role of leaders significantly impacts the success of change through personal involvement, persuasion, and building others' capability to change. Key leadership competencies for successful change include creating a case for change, structural change, engaging others, implementing and sustaining changes, and developing capabilities.
