If we were not for change, a manager's job would be relatively easy. Planning could be so simple because it is based on historical events where tomorrow would be no different from today (Robbins et aI., 1999). In addition, decision-making would be very streamlined because the result of every alternative taken in decision-making could be predicted with almost certain accuracy. However, this is not the way things work today's environment is full of uncertainty, market changes, changing workforce demographics, political and also social pressures and mostly 'certainly advancement in technology make today's organization one constant changes (Savery et aI., 2000). Organization in global market place will therefore continues to experience tremendous change. Organizational leaders thought change was an event (Frohman, 1997). However, change is now viewed as an ongoing process triggered by multiple variables (Grieves, 2000). Managers at all levels, but more specifically those at the middle level, must be constantly being reminded of their role and their influence is respect to organizational performance.
