Recommendation

For most of human history, change was a threat associated with war, epidemics, drought, and other catastrophes. Today, ongoing change is a constant, not a calamity, and the ability to bring about change is a critical managerial skill. Best-selling author Erika Andersen offers insight into the phenomenon of change, why people resist change and how leaders can overcome that resistance to implement desirable change. Andersen offers a thoughtful, well-articulated prescription for change, including a five-step model any organization can follow to effect and sustain meaningful change.

Take-Aways

  • Change used to happen slowly and incrementally, but the speed of change has accelerated and its magnitude has grown.
  • People prefer stability and constancy because for most of history change loomed as a risky threat.
  • To change, know the modification you desire, why it should happen and what the status quo will be afterward.
