Managing big changes and big problems affecting firms and organizations are truly required. This is a theoretical paper on "Team Change Agents in Management Innovation" that intends to suggest propositions to the management and academic community to experience value in applying management innovation while increasing the likelihood and impact of success in achieving sustainable performance with leadership of empowered, focused and accountable "team of change agents." I believe that there can be synergy between of the set of propositions on team change agents, with the application of management innovation (Hamel, 2006), and between change management (Hayes, 2010). The size of firm issues (large or manageable), change agents whether a team or an individual, level of management innovation whether high or low whether high or low, the level of motivation of stakeholders, and the level of stakeholder's resistance whether high or law are interrelated variables expected to effectuate sustainable firm performance. The constructs "that shall not be forgotten in the execution of management innovation", are synthesized from related literature. Further enhancements on the set of propositions are encouraged to fully develop a model in contributing to sustainable performance of firms with the dream of evolving into a widely- used management theory.
