| dc.description.abstract | A key component that few have explored is synergy for momentum, the capacity of leaders to balance leadership with structure, provide teams with resources to execute, track performance, and sustain the coalition mindset for idea implementation. In his work, Professor Samuel Bacharach suggests that momentum is critical to executing change. He argues that thriving organizational leaders that sustain momentum lead firms that can implement change. In this thesis, I have taken Bacharach’s frame in Keep Them On Your Side and the Agenda Mover, and his upcoming Innovation Volume, and I have attempted to illustrate it by giving examples of organizational change. This differs from his work in its provision of in-depth case examples for his managerial synergy constructs. Hopefully, through this application of his perspectives, the relevance/robustness of momentum will be enhanced for better organizational understanding. While this thesis is not offered as a test of theory, it is offered as an in-depth perspective illustration, an affirmation through illustration. | |
