Often the real struggle lies in managing the long-term aspects of recovery, revitalization and recommitment. In other words, the significant work of managing change requires leaders to focus simultaneously on managing the business and providing effective leadership to the people. More often than not, the focus is on the people side of leadership that loses out (Bunker & Wakefield, 2005).
