“Change agents without leaders lack muscle. And leaders without change agents are blind”

It shows how dependent the two roles are on one another.

But it is tricky balance. Perhaps leaders are the most dependent, a little like Henry II was on Thomas A Becket http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/becket_thomas.shtml

When Change Agents represent various departments, stakeholder interests, and positions they add realism and practicality to change plans.
