Leading Change - How Successful Leaders Approach Change Management (Paperback)

It is often claimed that 70% of organizational change efforts fail. This despite the popularity of linear change models, such as Kotter's 8-step model. The reason few change efforts succeed as intended is because they are based on two implicit assumptions:
--That the great leader or leadership team will come up with a vision and then succeed in persuading the rest of the organization to follow
--That people will happily embrace change without being afforded the opportunity to make their own meaning of that change

Most change management initiatives don't provide opportunities for people within the organization to question the basis for change, let alone play a significant role in shaping the change. "Leading Change" offers an alternative. It looks at adopting a complex adaptive system to explain, not only why many linear programs may be deemed more successful than first thought, but that actively engaging with the people affected by organizational change can lead to guaranteed success.
