Thank you for joining us for the second Fall 2009 edition, Volume III: Change Management as we continue to celebrate the accomplishments of these doctoral scholars affiliated with many phenomenal institutions of higher learning. The purpose of this next offering in this anthology series is to share yet another glimpse into the scholarly works of these authors, specifically on the topic of change management.In addition to exploring various aspects of change management, the purpose of The Refractive Thinker® is also to serve the tenets of leadership. Leadership is not simply a concept outside of the self, but comes from within, defining our very essence; where the search to define leadership becomes our personal journey not yet a finite destination.The Refractive Thinker® is an intimate expression of who we are-the ability to think beyond the traditional boundaries of thinking and critical thinking. Instead of mere reflection and evaluation, one challenges the very boundaries of the constructs itself. As in volumes I and II, the authors within these pages are on a mission to change the world, never satisfied or quite content with what is or asking why, instead these authors intentionally strive to push and test the limits to ask why not. Join us on this next adventure of The Refractive Thinker® where Volume III continues the discussion specifically themed for this volume to explore the realm of change management. This offers yet another bite of the apple from the tree of knowledge upon an ever expanding canvas from which these authors choose to cast their paint, envisioning new horizons in which to move forward and explore in the future.I invite you to join with me as we venture forward to showcase these authors of Volume III. The goal is to offer a chance to bring to publication more ideas for which the audience may be interested in the expertise and guidance that they offer.
