Change Management vs Change Leadership

John Kotter discusses the difference between "change management" and "change leadership," and whether it's just a matter of semantics. These terms are not interchangeable. The distinction between the two is actually quite significant. Change management, which is the term most everyone uses, refers to a set of basic tools or structures intended to keep any change effort under control. The goal is often to minimise the distractions and impacts of the change. Change leadership, on the other hand, concerns the driving forces, visions and processes that fuel large-scale transformation. In this video, Kotter delves a little deeper into the differences between the two concepts, and highlights why we need more change leadership today. You’ll need to set aside just over 5 minutes to watch this.
