Wk 4 summative assessment: innovative leadership report | LDR535 Leading Change | University of Phoenix

This week, you continue your assessment of the organization you selected in Week 1 when you prepare a report on leadership styles for the leadership team. The journey to successful organizational change can be long and requires you to demonstrate your innovative leadership skills as a manager to support sustainable change. Helping your leadership team recognize that what they’ve always done will not get them where they want to go, and that means a rigorous assessment of the leadership theories and approaches to support organizational change.
