Brilliant
Its brilliant book that i got from Amazon. I found Amazon great every time to provide these kind of books that really help not even in your course work but in your practical life as well.Leading Change
Don't Fear Change.
A fantastic book on how to make necessary change in an organization by overcoming the inertia of "doing things the way they've always been done." I constantly run through the 8 steps in my mind when I am thinking about ways to help all of us continue to align our people to new ideas or more effective field strategies.
A good start, just the beginning
How many change initiatives have gone horribly wrong, most according to research. This book is a start, a good start into the field and a very big field indeed. It is still contemporary, easy to read and digest and doesn't try to get into the minutia, the eight stage strategy should be taken as a plausible logical approach which has a higher chance of working than most efforts we see. Don't do what many managers do and come running back from corporate leadership seminars all fired up thinking this book will solve everthing.
Of at least of one thing we can be sure of, Change Management is incredibly difficult (Kanter et al 1992) to make sense of. Always challenging and impossibly confusing though paradoxically now with many elements well researched by agents buried in the strata of academia, consultancy and change. And yet, frequently more than fifty percent (Kotter 1996) of all change initiatives fail.
Go on to read stuff from Hope-Hailey, Senge, Kanter, Schein & Beer and Noria and then the complexities begin to show.
Insight into the world of Change
One of the best books on strategic change resistance and gaining sponsorship you will ever read. I have used and continue to use the eight step framework for all my change programmes.
Well written, easy to read and practical.
Packed with Knowledge!
The picture on the cover of John P. Kotter's book tells it all: a group of penguins are shuffling their feet nervously on an icy precipice, while one brave bird leaps for the water below. The question is, which penguin are you? In too many organizations, executives shy away from the precipice, while someone lower down in the pecking order jumps in to test the landing conditions. Kotter says managers and leaders are quite different. A manager, he explains, is trained to think in a linear, one-two-three, risk-limiting way. Transformational change, however, can only be attained when true leaders push forward on several fronts at once - eight of them to be exact. Every successful change initiative begins with a coalition of leaders who create a sense of urgency. Kotter's book stems from a 1995 Harvard Business Review article titled, "Leading Change: Why Transformation Efforts Fail." It will probably sound hauntingly familiar to managers who have watched change initiatives begin in the front courtyard with a marching band and end a few months later, ushered out the back door like a diner who can't pay the tab. If you want to know why your last change initiative fizzled, we say read this book. Better yet, study it to ensure that your next leap of faith is a flying success.
