"Leading Change"

David Herold
Professor Emeritus of Organizational Behavior
Co-author, Change the Way You Lead Change

David Herold, who joined Georgia Tech College of Management in 1973, is widely recognized for both his teaching and research. Former holder of the Gary T. Jones Chair, he has published widely in the major psychology and management journals.

His new book, Change the Way You Lead Change, offers businesses insights into better ways to approach change management. Co-authored by Georgia Tech organizational behavior professor Donald Fedor, the book shows how companies live on a "roller coaster of change," with overlapping changes being driven by different events, led by different executives, and originating from different parts of the organization.

According to Herold and Fedor, change is never a stepwise or easily prescribed process: It is messy and complicated, and its outcomes are easily swayed by a host of factors.

Herold is active as a management consultant, helping companies address a wide range of organizational and human resources issues. He holds a PhD from Yale University.

The IMPACT Speaker Series is sponsored by the Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship and is free and open to the public.

This session will be available as an archived streaming video after the presentation. Visit the IMPACT Speaker Series website for access information.
