Change

How Organizations Achieve Hard-to-Imagine Results in Uncertain and Volatile Times

By: John P. Kotter, Vanessa Akhtar, Gaurav Gupta

Narrated by: Noah Michael Levine

Incremental improvement is no longer sufficient in helping organizations navigate the complexity, uncertainty, and volatility of today's world. In Change: How Organizations Achieve Hard-to-Imagine Results in Uncertain and Volatile Times, authors John P. Kotter, Vanessa Akhtar, and Gaurav Gupta explore how to create non-linear, dramatic change in your organization. You'll discover the emerging science of change that teaches us about how to build organizations - from businesses to governments - that change and adapt rapidly.

In Change, you'll discover: why the ability of organizations to deal with threats and take advantage of opportunities in the face of ever greater complexity and uncertainty is being severely challenged; in-depth, evidence-based, actionable solutions for dealing with institutional resistance to change; case studies and success stories that describe organizations who have successfully built the ability to change quickly into their DNA; and a universal approach for how to dramatically improve outcomes from various change efforts, including: strategy execution, digital transformation, restructuring, and more.

Perfect for managers, executives, and leaders at companies of all types and sizes, Change will also prove to be a valuable asset to other professionals who serve these organizations.

Well Rounded Exploration

Change has Heart

I read this book for a Management class. The fundamentals of change and the change process are clear and operational. I feel optimistic about making change happen for positive results. Excellent framework for combining the head and heart in organizations.

Very Good Read in an Ever Changing World

A lot of useful takeaways, not just for business, but life as well. Change is inevitable and this book helps you plan ahead and how to help others as well. Recommend read

PoleStar of the Change

Change is easy to say, hard to do. if you want to understand why every word is essential of the book, read these books respectively,
1-Leading Change
2-Accelerate
3-Our Iceberg Is Melting
4-That's Not How We Do It Here!
5-Change

Most company's change initiatives fail. Yours don't have to.

Good information but uninspired

Like most books written by academics, this is a research paper. It is uninspiring. Ironically the authors cut the legs off of their own concept. As is typical in academia they reach back over years of research. Yet their own theory says that change is happening so quickly by the time years of research are completed, the research is irrelevant. The basic problem is that the authors are researchers, not businesspeople and they are the type of consultants that provide a report of recommendations that sits in a shelf and is never used.

Not what I was expecting

As a leader in healthcare and education I didn’t get what I was searching for from this book.

Nothing learned.

Wasting your time with empty, sophisticated sentences. Sounds cool, but ot teaches you absolutely nothing. Annoying
