Abstract: This literature review provides a comprehensive analysis of current research and scholarly articles pertaining to change leadership and management (Van Dijk, 2009). It explores various concepts, theories, and best practices relevant to organisational change. Effective change leadership and management are highlighted as essential for successfully navigating complex and challenging changes (Jones, 2013). The review delves into theoretical frameworks and models designed to guide the understanding and implementation of change (Jacobs, 2016). These conceptual tools offer valuable insights for practitioners and academics in analysing, planning, and executing change initiatives. Furthermore, this literature review contributes to a deeper understanding of change leadership and management concepts, theories, and best practices (Errida, 2021). It offers valuable perspectives for ongoing research projects and practical applications in the field. By synthesising existing knowledge, this review aims to inspire and inform individuals engaged in change leadership and management, fostering greater success in organisational transformations.
