Cover Story: Organizational change initiatives are necessary to update business components or practices to meet the evolving needs of changing industries. Unfortunately, explicit emphasis on the importance of truth and buy-in is often missing from most, if not all, change initiatives. Including these factors is essential because accepting explanations for change, and resultant stakeholder buy-in, may be among the most significant challenges to organizational change success. Indeed, the absence of leadership conveyed truth-telling and stakeholder truth acceptance restrains growth and organization evolution. This investigation considers the general role(s) of truth and buy-in in the organizational change process and provides an in-road to students and practitioners who wish to engage with the organizational change literature.
