Abstract

American firms continue to improve services/product lines in order to stay competitive within their respective industry. Unfortunately, expectations can be out of the norm, resulting in misguided organizational change. Studies have suggested that misguided organizational change initiatives trigger managers to mistreat employees. Consequently, most studies suggest that the lack of leadership is attributable to promoting a false sense of urgency resulting in a hostile work environment. Moreover, past studies have suggested that a highly emotional, intelligent leader is able to deal with corporate sustainability factors that may have an effect on organizational change initiatives. At the end, recommendations will be offered for improved organizational change initiatives.
