Leading Change in Your Organization (companion workbook) Real-Life Stories of How People
Change Their Organizations How do you go beyond simply getting your message across to truly changing people's behavior?
John Kotter's international bestseller Leading
Change struck a powerful chord with legions of managers
everywhere. It acknowledged the cynicism, pain, and fear they faced
in implementing large-scale change-but also armed them with an
eight-step plan of action for leaping boldly forward in a turbulent
world.
Now, Kotter and coauthor Dan S. Cohen delve deeper into the
subject of change to get to the heart of how change actually
happens.
Through compelling, real-life stories from people in
the trenches, in all kinds of organizations, the authors attack the
fundamental problem that underlies every major transformation. Based on interviews within over 100 organizations in the midst of
large-scale change, The Heart of Change delivers the simple
yet provocative answer to this question, forever altering the way
organizations and individuals approach change.
While most companies believe change happens by making people
think differently, Kotter and Cohen say the key lies in making them feel
differently. They introduce a new
dynamic-"see-feel-change"-that fuels action by showing
people potent reasons for change that spark their emotions. Organized around the revolutionary eight-step change process
introduced in Leading Change, this story-driven book shows
how the best change leaders use not just reports or analysis, but
gloves, video cameras, airplanes, office design, and other concrete
elements to impel people toward positive action. The authors reveal
how this appeal to the heart-over the mind-motivates people to
overcome even daunting obstacles to change and produce breathtaking
results.
Subjects covered
include:
Corporate strategy, Leadership, Organization,
Organizational behavior,
Organizational change,
Organizational
management, and, Strategy implementation.
For individuals in every walk of life and companies in every
stage of change, this compact, no-nonsense book captures the
heart-and the how-of successful change. John P. Kotter, world-renowned expert on leadership at the
Harvard Business School, is the author of many books, including the
award-winning, best-selling Leading Change. Dan S. Cohen is a
Principal with Deloitte Consulting LLC. "...practical no-nonsense guide that pumps up, orients and
