Different authors and speakers have argued that change cannot be managed, but rather leaders should be preparing for and responding to change. However, change is inevitable in all global business environments. The survival of every organization, therefore, depends on the development of the ability to embrace change. This implies that strong leadership leads to successful business management which in turn leads to effective change management (Adair, 2011). An effective leader who can respond to and lead an organization to transformation is, therefore, the best choice of leadership for an organization that is undergoing change. Such a leader would create new and innovative systems that would drive the organization to its renewal process (Adeniyi, 2007).
