%X Orientation: This multiple qualitative case study provides a change leadership framework through augmentation of Kotter¡¯s eight-step change leadership model. This framework provides practical guidelines for the implementation of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE). Research purpose: To establish a transformational change leadership framework for B-BBEE implementation, applying Kotter¡¯s eight-step change leadership model. Motivation for the study: It is not clear to what extent a transformational change leadership framework can be applied for the improved implementation of B-BBEE in South African organisations. Research design, approach and method: This is a multiple qualitative case study with a constructivist philosophy. Sixteen organisations were purposively selected from the Top 100 rated Most Empowered Companies. Five B-BBEE transformation experts were selected for interviewing. The five participants were executives aged between 35 and 50 years: female (4), male (1), black people (2) and white people (3). Deductive thematic analysis was done using pre-defined themes and Kotter¡¯s change leadership steps. Inductive perspectives were applied when new insights were gained. Main findings: The transformational change leadership framework for the implementation of B-BBEE incorporated Kotter¡¯s steps and additional essential elements. Practical/managerial implications: The study proposes that a transformational change leadership framework could be used for implementing successful, sustainable B-BBEE in South Africa. Contribution/value-add: Different elements contributed the B-BBEE transformational change leadership framework, namely: the role of leadership; leaders¡¯ personal commitment, values and beliefs; and support in driving effective transformation. A willing culture seems essential for sustainable climate of change that leads to transformation maturity
