Leading Strategic Change
One constant thing in organizations is change. Irrespective of who initiates the change, strategic leadership skills are needed to rally others in support of its implementation to successfully manage and accomplish this much-needed change. Many a leader with good ideas fails at change management mainly because they can't get beyond vision. Successful leaders need to take a holistic approach to organizational change: working top-down to influence stakeholders and mobilize support, and bottom up to keep projects and people moving forward. In the midst of change, organizations yearn for leadership - typically with differing expectations of what constitutes effective leadership in response to th...

The Rise of a Party-State in Kenya
Although Kenya is often considered an African success story, its political climate became increasingly repressive under its second president, Daniel arap Moi. Widner charts the transformation of the Kenya African National Union (KANU) from a weak, loosely organized political party under Jomo Kenyatta into an arm of the president's office, with "watchdog" youth wings and strong surveillance and control functions, under Moi. She suggests that single-party systems have an inherent tendency to become "party-states," or single-party regimes in which the head of state uses the party as a means of control. The speed and extent of these changes depend on the countervailing power of independent interest groups, such as business associations, farmers, or professionals. Widner's study offers important insights into the dynamics of party systems in Africa.

An innovator in contemporary thought on economic and political development looks here at decline rather than growth. Albert O. Hirschman makes a basic distinction between alternative ways of reacting to deterioration in business firms and, in general, to dissatisfaction with organizations: one, “exit,” is for the member to quit the organization or for the customer to switch to the competing product, and the other, “voice,” is for members or customers to agitate and exert influence for change “from within.” The efficiency of the competitive mechanism, with its total reliance on exit, is questioned for certain important situations. As exit often undercuts voice while being unable t...
