Behavioral perspective: Alterations in patterns of employee behavior need to accompany all types of changes in order to achieve outstanding performance. Implementation perspective: Recognition of the need for change must be accompanied by effective implementation if outstanding performance is to be achieved. Leadership perspective: The coordinated efforts of leaders at multiple levels and in multiple units of an organization will promote effective implementation. Book jacket.
