Sažetak
The role of a leader in the process of change management is to encourage members of the organization to go ahead with needed activities and simultaneously to seek out new signs that will direct further action. This paper is set in the theoretical framework which views organizational life as an ongoing experience of thinking and acting, hence we propose that this crucial leader’s activity can be best described by the model of sensegiving. Sensegiving proposes that the leader firstly establishes a mental representation of his initial search for meaning and, secondly, communicates it to the members of the organization who build their sense of it. Realization of leader’s mental representation demands action which is based on the sense created by the activities of organizational members. The paper argues for the process of sensegiving which is in complex organizations comprised of three phases: the integration of current situational influences to the initial mental representation, the alignment of the new representation with key stakeholders and finally the dissemination of new mental model to other members of the organization through designation of activities.
