Leading Change, With a New Preface by the Author

This book reads as a manual for change projects, while inspiring at the same time. I very much like the definition of leadership vs management. This helps me with a lot of observations on what goes well or wrong

Trata dos princípios do change management como ninguém! Inspiração para a verdadeira transformação dos negócios

le livre de john Kotter présente une méthode de gestion du changement qui a fait legion pendant de nombreuses années. Il montre aussi pourquoi les projets de gestion du changement échouent et comment ces problèmes peuvent être évités. Le titre introduit dja - la notion de leadership - lead - et une question qui suivra sera quel leadership pour le contexte actuel sachant que ce livre a été ecrit il y a plus de vingt ans Il est aussi important de repositionner le contenu dans un contexte de mondialisation. Je trouve ce livre trés utile.

This book came in great condition! Also it is a very informative and engaging read about the need to change in business organizations. I would recommend this book if you are interested in change management and how to lead a change initiative at your job.

This book has become something of a classic among management books. Kotter starts by listing eight reasons why major organisational change initiatives fail. He then goes on to give his eight point plan for leading change. The process he recommends is: Establish a Sense of Urgency Create a Guiding Coalition Develop a Vision and Strategy Communicate the Change Vision Empower Employees for broad-based Action Generate Short-Term Wins Consolidate Gains and Produce more Change Anchor the New Approahces in the Corporate Culture He clearly explains the why and how for each point and stresses the importance of following this procedure in sequence and of not omitting any steps. Both leadership and management is needed in the process and he shows their different roles. The book is easy to read and the arguments are cogent. There are many examples and stories - though no proper case studies. Overall it is a highly valuable guide to the tough challenge of leading large-scale change.
