Abstract:
As a member of the Ball State Women's Soccer Team and the Honors College, I had a unique college experience. Lending to the distinctiveness of my experience is the fact that our soccer team witnessed three coaching changes in just four years. As I pursue a career in Human Resource Management, I am prepared to face many more changes similar to the ones I experienced in college. In an effort to apply what I have learned in college to my future in business, my thesis explores the concept of leadership, primarily in the midst of change. I begin by offering definitions for both change and leadership, and then I discuss the leader's role in times of transition. Several tables are included to aid in the understanding of the topic.
