Case Study Analysis – Change Leadership

In your weekly readings, Cameron (2006) writes “When nothing is stable…people tend to make up their own rules…they make sense of the ambiguity and chaos they experience by deciding for themselves what is real and what is appropriate” (p. 317).

He then argues that Ethics requires Virtuousness as a complimentary fixed point to guide Leaders in change situations.

Abstract

Virtue within the organizational setting helps guide the activities of employees in their interaction with the other stakeholders in the business. However, in light of change activities within the said organization, it is often likely that the employees could lack a consistent guide on the ideal activities under different circumstances. However, an organizational culture that had included virtue as the primary basis for interaction with other stakeholders would help guide the employees into appropriate conduct through the change process. Therefore, the essay herein confirm Cameron’s ideas on the employees seeking personal understanding and guidance in decision-making during change processes, and the importance of virtue as a guide to effectively undertaking the change process with limited cost to the employees.
