Der Einfluss Des Ceos Auf Die Organisationale Veränderungsfähigkeit Und Den Unternehmenserfolg Hardcover

Demian Wilhelm

Studies show that around 70% of the organizational changes initiated are unsuccessful. This can be seen as an indication that research and practice are currently not in a sufficient position to comprehensively explain the complexity and specificity of organizational changes in their entirety and to make design recommendations in this regard. The constant change and the associated pressure to change in increasingly shorter cycles will continue to increase in the future. Therefore, the requirements for the responsible CEOs and managers are correspondingly more complex to manage and design complex organizational changes. It is particularly important for family businesses to keep their tradition for generations, but at the same time continuously adapt to changing circumstances. Dr. Demian Wilhelm derives theoretically and conceptually how humble, resilient and transformational CEOs can influence and strengthen organizational change and corporate success. Humility can help a CEO avoid high spirits, clear self-image, open advice, and value other contributions. The personality attribute resilience, which, like humility, is also described as a virtue, can enable managers to deal with work pressure, deal with uncertainties and failures positively, and proactively support employees even in the event of crises. In addition, transformational CEOs can lead morally and implement organizational changes, by motivating and stimulating their employees intellectually to work for continuous change. Based on Upper Echelon's theory, personality psychology and leadership research, the author creates hypotheses and uses a sample to test them with the largest German family businesses. From this, implications for science and essential design recommendations for practice are formed, how the ability to change can be influenced and strengthened by companies
