About book:
Who Killed Change?
Solving the Mystery of Leading People Through Change
Every
day organizations around the world launch change initiatives—often big,
expensive ones—designed to improve the status quo. Yet 50 to 70 percent
of these change efforts fail. A few perish suddenly, but many die
painful, protracted deaths that drain the organization's resources,
energy and morale.
Who or What Is Killing Change?
That's
what you'll find out in this witty whodunit. The story features a
Columbo-style detective, Agent Mike McNally, who's investigating the
murder of yet another change. One by one, Agent McNally interviews
thirteen prime suspects, including a myopic leader named Victoria
Vision; a chronically tardy manager named Ernest Urgency; an executive
named Clair Communication, whose laryngitis makes communication all but
impossible; and several other dubious characters.
The suspects are
sure to sound familiar and you're bound to relate them to your own
workplace. In the end, Agent McNally solves the case in a way that will
inspire you to become an effective Change Agent in your own
organization.A step-by-step guide at the back of the book shows you how
to apply the story's lessons to the real world. Key questions help you
evaluate the health of your organization's change initiatives, and
you'll learn best practices for enabling and sustaining the desired
change.
