How to Achieve Sustained Organizational Effectiveness

Organizations are stable entities - they are not built for change. But in today's fast paced and very competitive economic environment every organization must be prepared to change - and to change often. Some of these changes may be short term but necessary, others will affect the longer term. For an organization in the throes of change team leadership becomes extremely important and, as well, managers must be rewarded not only for results in the usual sense, but for the ability to manage change successfully.

Lawler and Worley discuss methods that will assist organizations to facilitate change. These involve the appropriate strategies, internal structures, as well as communication and human resource policies.

Edward Lawler is Distinguished Professor of Business at the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, where he is also the founder and director of the Center for Effective Organizations. He is the author of Treat People Right! and a leading consultant to major corporations.

Christopher Worley is a research scientist at the Center for Effective Organizations, University of Southern California. Previously, he was the director of the Master of Science in Organizational Development program at Pepperdine University. He is the author of Integrated Strategic Change.
