Based on the award-winning article in "Harvard Business Review,"
from global leadership expert John Kotter.
It's a familiar scene in organizations today: a new competitive
threat or a big opportunity emerges. You quickly create a strategic
initiative in response and appoint your best people to make change
happen. And it does--but not fast enough. Or effectively enough.
Real value gets lost and, ultimately, things drift back to the
default status.
Why is this scenario so frequently repeated in industries and
organizations across the world? In the groundbreaking new book
"Accelerate" (XLR8), leadership and change management expert, and
best-selling author, John Kotter provides a fascinating answer--and
a powerful new framework for competing and winning in a world of
constant turbulence and disruption.
Kotter explains how traditional organizational hierarchies evolved
to meet the daily demands of running an enterprise. For most
companies, the hierarchy is the singular operating system at the
heart of the firm. But the reality is, this system simply is not
built for an environment where change has become the norm. Kotter
advocates a new system--a second, more agile, network-like
structure that operates "in concert" with the hierarchy to create
what he calls a "dual operating system"--one that allows companies
to capitalize on rapid-fire strategic challenges and still make
their numbers.
"Accelerate" (XLR8) vividly illustrates the five core principles
underlying the new network system, the eight Accelerators that
drive it, and how leaders must create urgency in others through
role modeling. And perhaps most crucial, the book reveals how the
best companies focus and align their people's energy and urgency
around what Kotter calls "the big opportunity."
If you're a pioneer, a leader who knows that bold change is
necessary to survive and thrive in an ever-changing world, this
book will help you accelerate into a better, more profitable
future.
