Engagements

It is my professional purpose to share knowledge and experiences in organizational change and leadership to make other people successful as leaders and change managers. As professor, director and consultant, I am engaged in the future of youngsters, safety in society and in humanity in neighbourhoods and schools. I feel committed to action learning of leaders, managers and professionals who really want to make a difference. It gives me energy when I contribute to the proud of people in their work and to organizational and societal renewal.

Cultural change and leadership

In February 2013 the English title Cultural Change and Leadership in Organizations was published. I am very happy with this publication, which is full of conceptual material, inspiring examples and concrete intervention to realize successful strategic and cultural change in organizations.

Alfons Sauguet, Dean of ESADE Business School: “There is some unique quality in the way Jaap Boonstra has succeeded in bringing together a very rich set of experiences and recreate them against a background of sound ideas and concepts. This book offers inspiration that turns into practical cues for those wanting to manage and change the subtle threads of organizational culture”.
