“…First, organizational researchers and practitioners have struggled with the conceptualization of resistance, defining it in myriad ways. Some social scientists have given resistance a negative connotation, defining it as a force obstructing the efforts of change leaders (Coch & French, 1948;Kotter, 1995;Marx, 1818Marx, /1883; others have discussed it with positive overtones, conceptualizing it as an important source of information for leading effective change (Ford & Ford, 1994;Goldstein, 1989;Weisbord, 1987); and still others have captured its paradoxical nature, conceiving it as a phenomenon that is simultaneously unconstructive and helpful (Bridges, 1986;Lewin, 1952;Mauer, 1996).…”

“…Natomiast w przeciwieństwie do procesu transformacji, procesem zmiany można kierować w sposób racjonalny. To racjonalne kierowanie zmianą jest podstawowym zadaniem menedżerów, którzy odpowiadają za całokształt funkcjonowania organizacji [Bridges 1986]. Powyższa konceptualizacja istotnie ułatwia postępowanie w procesie kierowania zmianami.…”

StreszczeniePrezentowane rozważania dotyczą wyzwań, jakie stoją przed kadrą kierowniczą przedsiębiorstw uczestniczących w procesie odnowy strategicznej. Podjęto w nim dyskusję dotyczącą zachowań, jakie powinni prezentować przedstawiciele zarządu, jeśli chcą zwiększać szanse przedsiębiorstwa na powodzenie w działaniach, których celem jest strategiczna odnowa. Artykuł ma charakter teoretyczny. Jego głównym celem jest przedstawienie zagadnień związanych z procesami strategicznej odnowy przedsiębiorstw w kontekście wyzwań, w obliczu których staje zarówno kadra zarządzająca, jak i pozostali pracownicy. Proponowane ujęcie tego zagadnienia zakotwiczone jest w psychodynamicznym podejściu do organizacji. Tematyka opracowania skoncentrowana jest na poszukiwaniu odpowiedzi na pytanie, jak wspierać pracowników przedsiębiorstw oraz jakie kompetencje powinni mieć liderzy, by z powodzeniem osiągać cele wynikające z procesu strategicznej odnowy przedsiębiorstwa.Słowa kluczowe: odnowa strategiczna, kompetencje przywódcze, zachowania wspierające, gotowość do zmian. AbstractThe considerations presented in the paper concern the challenges that are faced by the management of companies that are undergoing the strategic renewal process. The article discusses the behaviours which should be displayed by management representatives if they want to increase the company's chances of achieving success in the actions which are aimed at strategic renewal. The article is of theoretical nature. Its main goal is to present the issues related to the company strategic renewal processes in the context of the challenges that are faced by the management, as well as other employees. The approach to the issue proposed in the paper is anchored in the psychodynamic approach to organisation. The article focuses on seeking an answer to the question how employees of companies should be supported and what competences should the leaders have for the goals resulting from the process of company strategic renewal to be successfully achieved.

“…Segundo Bridges (1986), a teoria da transição foi proposta com o intuito de analisar o reflexo da mudança nos indivíduos. Nessa perspectiva, mudança e transição são duas dinâmicas paralelas, sendo que a mudança é externa ao indivíduo e a transição, interna ao indivíduo.…”

Busca-se neste trabalho compreender o processo de transição do líder (reitor ou pró-reitor) para contribuidor individual (professor) em universidades localizadas em Santa Catarina - Brasil. A abordagem fenomenológico-hermenêutica de van Manen (1990) foi utilizada a fim de retomar os principais temas desta experiência. Seis ex-gestores universitários emprestaram suas experiências vivenciadas em universidades pertencentes à Associação Catarinense das Fundações Educacionais (ACAFE), através das entrevistas em três tempos preconizadas por Seidman (1998), realizadas entre maio de 2009 e março de 2010. Nas lembranças significativas dos sujeitos da pesquisa, emergiram temas expressivos vividos na transição de gestores para professores. Esses temas foram organizados e serão apresentados nas seguintes categorias: não sou mais responsável pela gestão: um alívio; voltando às origens: é necessário atualizar-se; as relações interpessoais; o tempo; sentindo falta da estrutura; e sofrendo.
